I have worked at YouView for more than 2 years. It is a great company to work for because you are a person not a number. Friendly and competent people which you get to know beyond a formal work environment via different activities (like running, lunches) organized by each team and by the company.

Knowledgeable team members to learn from. Regularly challenged in my role. Friendly atmosphere whether working remotely, hybrid or in the office.
