Does anybody here work for sky? or OH work for them? just after a rough idea of monthly income job is advertised at 16400 just wanted to know if they get bonuses on top for hitting there work load

Hi, is that the starting salary for the job advertised? It'll depend on which position/department someone is working in, to what bonuses they get.

My OH works at sky and usually gets a bonus every quarter, but it could be an individual bonus or a team effort, so varies. Other benefits are a points scheme, where staff can earns points through various means, which can be exchanged for vouchers or other items/products - he bagged £400 worth last year, which sorted xmas out. Also staff get free sky+ with full Sky world package, free sporting events & free broadband. Imo I'd say they're quite generous to their staff.

The job is for the installation engineer the reason for the question is they have offered me a job and just wanted to get an idea of bonuses and benefits and how they treat the staff in general, because i have a very secure job at the mo and taking this would be a slight pay cut just wanting to weigh things up. but im really bored of being stuck in an office 10hrs a day.

OH doesn't know what bonuses/benefits an engineer will get, except for the free sky & company vehicle. He's assuming the salary you quoted is a starting salary, so that will possibly increase at some point. He gets a salary review every 6 months, which increases based on performance. Sorry not much help, but someone might be along soon who might know.

If you're not already aware of it, have a read of this thread OP - 159 pages re. the position you've been offered and it does (somewhere!) go on about money etc.
