RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Sky full-time (More than 8 years)
Pros
Great company, amazing benefits, Free Sky Q, good development programmes and an awesome head office. Supplemented meals, onsite gym, nail bar, hairdresser and little Waitrose. Amazing free summer events with live music and great food. Incredible restaurants and an amazing atmosphere.
Cons
There are not a lot of cons at sky. The current efficiency drive is challenging as it impacts our ability to function at times, but they remain people focussed and benefits haven't suffered.
Advice to Management
Great leaders are there to serve their people, not impress their bosses.

RecommendsApproves of CEOI have been working at Sky full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Great Benefits, great values and atmosphere. Gives you a lot of autonomy and flexible working so work-life balance is amazing.
Cons
Downside to flexible working is there is less of a team spirit, you never know where your colleagues are going to be (Osterley, Victoria or Home). I guess it can't be avoided though and everyone is great at making phone calls and conf calls.
Advice to Management
Not enough salary raise (unless you change position within the company)

Sometimes (especially recently) there's been too much change in Management. This has caused many teams to become unsettled. Change is good.. but I think the way it's handled needs to improve. Senior management communication has started to lack in clarity.
Advice to Management
Support your staff and teams more when you're making a big organisational change. Change can be good but it can also cause employees to be unsettled and worry about what the future of their careers at Sky are.

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI worked at Sky full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Lots of opportunity to take responsibility - execs are experienced and succesful in the industry, and have high expectations. Strong customer focus, lean processes, things can change quickly, and there are lots of talented individuals.
Cons
Weird decision making processes, culture favours strong personalities, and heroes. Seniors are loyal to established relationships, sometimes to the detriment of the business. Quite political at times and poor support from management - not a great development environment. Make sure you research stakeholder relationships and their networks.
Advice to Management
Encourage more senior / mid level managers to get some professional management qualifications.
