RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Sky full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Very relaxed, and comfortable place to work. You can be yourself and no need to put on a facede. Depending on the department you work in, it's generally not much formal. The Osterley site is a bit more relaxed than the Victoria site. Nevertheless, it's a great place to work.
The team is great, since you would normally see them everyday, you really do bond and become a family. Besides it's Mon to Fri (9-5) so great hours.Cons
Travelling can be a bit tedious, especially for the Osterley site. If you don't live closely.

Pros
I've worked for corporates for most of my career and the Osterley campus is how it should be done. People are welcoming helpful and professional.
Cons
Can't think of any but I've only been there 2 weeks!
Advice to Management
Again, I'm very new but my advice thus far is to keep doing what you're doing.

Positive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Sky full-time (More than 10 years)
Pros
Benefits are good such as free Sky Q, full TV package and good deals on Mobile and Broadband. It's a big company and there are lots of internal job opportunities if you want them.
Cons
It's a big company, how you view it may depend on the team you go into/the manager you have. I've had both good and bad managers that swayed how I felt about the company at the time.
Advice to Management
Being efficient with people is not efficient. Make the pension scheme better.
