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.

I have been working at Sky full-time
Pros
Excellent benefits package and work with great people
Cons
Too many conflicting projects with a lack of measuring any impact
Advice to Management
Reduce the amount of different projects and work more coherently in order to be able to measure success before moving on to the next one. More management of team leaders needed

Pros
Good benefits.
Free Sky.
Good bonus however constantly getting reviewed and slashed.Cons
Tough job as you are trying to sell to customers who are looking to cancel. Customers often upset or angry.
This can be mentally draining and I would not recommend long term.Advice to Management
Recognise the difficulty in the role and the dangers this can have on people mentally and physically.

Great benefits such as free sky, great pension, Healthcare fantastic.
Cons
Too many in management that change things but not for the best. Dismissing long term staff for pathetic reasons, redundancies left right centre. Treat staff disgusting. Always being micro managed.
Loyalty scheme is more like a popularity contest.Advice to Management
Don’t break something that’s not broken.
