RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Sky full-time for less than a year
Pros
- The company are very supportive - my hiring manager is keen to help me progress through the company - There are many rewards for working at Sky (free events etc.) - Employees get access to amazing events hosted on campus - We are well paid - My fellow colleagues are wonderful and have become good friends - The company is very concerned with climate change, and have a policy to go carbon neutral by 2030
Cons
- I work long hours, and the shift pattern can interfere with life outside of work. However this pattern can work really well for some people, and your hard work is recognised.

Pros
Subsidised food. Organised engineering.
Cons
