Good people except....... - Mitarbeiter (anonym) bei Freesat: Mitarbeiterbewertung

Small, nimble and made things happen without red tape. Good social activities and sense of togetherness. Great worklife balance

None , perhaps in some roles salary wasnt as high as elsewhere.

Good office location and benefits package. The equipment and software packages you need to complete your job are often easily requested and accessible. It's a small team at Freesat so you will genuinely get to know everyone and there are regular social events planned throughout the year to encourage good relationships between teams - which is desperately needed.

When you attend an interview for Freesat you will be given a well-rehearsed pitch about "how there has never been a better time to join the company" and "how they are a small company with BIG ambitions". Don't be fooled! This marketing pitch is the only campaign they actually put any thought and effort into. During my time at Freesat I witnessed so many ambitious and talented people meet the same fate; undervalued, under-paid and ultimately left with no option but to move on. Whilst those, whose only interest is self-preservation and collecting a pay cheque make life difficult for anyone wanting to make real change. Often resulting in them being bullied out of the company. This seemed particularly prevalent in the marketing department. What was once an environment that encouraged creative thinking and collaboration is now a hotbed of egotistical decision-making of shambolic proportions. And these problems reach all the way to the top. So until there are some big changes I wouldn't put yourself through the mental strain it takes on you. If you don't want to leave your career ambitions, ideas and enthusiasm at the door each morning, then DO NOT accept a job role here.
