Could do better, but great money for the role.

Business customer services call centre agent

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Great remuneration for the job. Some flexibility after some time. Great perks. They do have an opt in pension plan, dental care etc. However this does mean that you need to add in some of your own money every month. The O2 phone benefits are obviously great, and since I left they now have great internet benefits.

Cons

Poor chances of promotion. If you do well on the call centre part, they dont want to give you away. Yet if you dont do well, you cant get that promotion. They poorly explain what options you have to get out of the department you are in. Indeed trying to get the departments to talk to each other, and talk about what they do to get that transparency was never possible.

Great company, not so great managers

Product manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Pride in the company, brand of the company (it's well known), discounts and priority tickets for the O2.

Cons

Career progression is very limited, promotion for people internally doesn't happen enough and when it does, pay increases are limited to 5%

Stable company where one can retire

Senior project manager

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Its a good place to have jos stability, they have a no firing policy that gives the people qorking there a sensation of security. If you are working for any of the branches like TID or Telefonica DATA, the mother company always serves as a backup when it comes to resources.

Cons

Very burocratic place. Many of the people working for this company are coming form the times when telefonica was a goverment enterprise, this creates a bit of lacking when it comes to the resources in the company, many of these old employes do not try to grow with the current business needs in the telecom sector.
