      Cons

      I have been working at Sky full-time for more than 10 years

      Pros

      Free Sky TV, broadband, talk. Subsidised mobile, canteen (top quality). Flexible working. Career development opportunities, secondments, learning, volunteering time. Dynamic, driven atmosphere.

      Cons

      It's competitive, so don't take anything for granted; changes will come out of the blue and someone's always ready to fill your job. The method of communicating the co. values feels like brain washing. Benefits commensurate with anywhere in the media business, so don't go thinking they're doing you a massive favour just because there's an ice rink at Xmas.
