Got an interview for Siemens working for BBC in White City site.
Anyone worked there? Good/bad place to work?

Yes. All of the above. W@nkers.Originally posted by badger7579 View Post
Only ever terminated contract. Sited, 'using the phone', 'talking to colleagues','not booking a day off properly'
As I said. W@nkers.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions! -
I've heard that it can be a difficult place to get into due to the rampant cronyism. Unless you know someone, it's an uphill slog.Originally posted by badger7579 View PostYou won't be alerting anyone to anything with a mouthful of mixed seeds.Comment

My experience of working there is so last millennium that it is no longer valid. Especially since I was across the road in Woodlands. And permie.
However, I suggest you do the opposite of whatever this advice was:
Also, do not expect to be able to park anywhere near there, and do NOT EVER use the pedestrian underpasses at the Wood Lane / A40 flyover junction.This message is hidden because MarillionFan is on your ignore list.My all-time favourite Dilbert cartoon, this is: BTW, a Dumpster is a brand of skip, I think.Comment

I've heard the (permie) money is aweful. I don't think I could work in such an environent. Advertising/PR agencies were luvvy/cliquey/Oh so superior enough - I think the BBC probably is off the scale in this respect..
I'll take IB permies any day over BBC types - at least the invoice makes up for the Tony the Tiger routines.."Is someone you don't like allowed to say something you don't like? If that is the case then we have free speech."- Elon MuskComment

If it were just the Beeb I'd say approach with caution. Depending on the department there's a lot of politicos and primas - and workshy eejits - about. As it's Siemens, do not touch with the Holy Barge Pole Of All Lords.
Forsooth.Comment

Ignore Richard he's a doley posting on a contractor board. His linkedin profile is hilarious.
Don't expect any autonomy with Siemens at the BBC. The processes are slow and unweidly and frankly they dont want 'get on with it' type people. I found Siemens was milking it and they will just drop you as quick as they can drop a hat.
I found the team disjointed and the BBC staff terrible. Awful politics and the worse waste culture of any public service.What happens in General, stays in General.You know what they say about assumptions!Comment
