This company is ****ing **** mate.. dont even touch it with a barge pole... If you do go... ask them who was their highest earning engineer and best engineer... Ask brian Jones FLM. at warrington. TBH Cobra isnt a company anymore its First Line Digital now.. they aquired cobra in October i think it was... They will work you into the ground.. Steal you 15 days Anual Holiday.. give you enough just in a day to last you 2.. they will stitch you up for something you havent done.... My advise is stay well clear this company is a home wrecker..

Rover DM16C Digimax & Rover DL4 Meters. | I'll second that. I work with a lot of Ex Cobra employees at Avonline and not one of them has a good thing to say about the company  If you want to end up on anti depresants go for it otherwise i really wouldn't bother  I'd stay well away from them if i was you   Nano

Mate, you could send last years calender in to them and you would get the job... Theyre all the same.. they all spring off cobra at some point in their past.. But good luck.. with regards to sky... i once tried 2 apply.. infact twice... they dont even acknowledge your cv let alone read it.. i actualy sent mine in and on the second one i heared nothing again so i phoned them and they said they havent even looked at it.. even though i sent it them 6 months prior.. hate heights hate anything to do with sky now lol...
