Mission: Believing in better is how we approach everything we do.
I worked at Sky full-time
Pros
Fast paced and motivating place to work
Cons
Usual corporate challenges that accompany big business
Application
I applied online. The process took 3+ months. I interviewed at Sky (Osterley) in January 2020.
Interview
The Assessment Centre was split into 3 parts with one part being an interview - It was 1 to 1 and very relaxed. A brief mini task was followed by a number of questions.
Interview Questions
For World Autism Awareness Week, Laura, who was told she was autistic at 18, shares how since joining us last summer, she's met many accepting and supportive colleagues who allow her to be herself at work. "In my application, I didn't disclose that I was autistic as I was worried about people's preconceptions. I considered asking for adjustments to the interview process, but found I didn't have to as the Software Engineering Academy assessment centre was inclusive and enjoyable. I was provided with a clear itinerary, was introduced to everyone, and given clear expectations for next steps. Every effort was made to reduce my anxiety about new locations, new people, and the interview itself without my having to ask - this gave me confidence that Sky was a place I could thrive. I'm lucky to work with people who accept me for who I am. They accept my different learning and communication styles, and include me in professional and social activities. I feel part of an open-minded culture based on respect and kindness which has helped me become more confident and develop my career".
