What they don't mention is the abysmal salary (£23,000~) they start you on. No idea why anyone would choose to work there.

- IshKebab 9y agoWow that really is bad.
- josh602 9y agoI turned down a graduate contract in London for £30k, going up to £40k after two years, to be at the BBC. If you want to work at BBC D&E, you accept that you're not going to get a competitive salary. But in return, you get very relaxed and laid back working conditions. (Or so people tell me. I haven't worked at any other large software org to compare.) Someone I know, who is now a principal dev, was previously a contractor for the BBC. He decided to leave contracting and join the corporation permanently. He's one of the most amazingly clever developers I have ever met. (But yes, we'd all still appreciate it if we could be paid more.)
- jlebrech 9y agofor the BBC that's terrible, they also pay their TV licensing goons peanuts too.
- zimpenfish 9y agoThey pa{y,id} contractors well last year but IIRC they were drastically reducing their use due to new tax regulations or something.
