Bright people tackling exciting challenges. It’s what gives the FT its lively, stimulating atmosphere and strong sense of purpose.
We look for outstanding people who are 100% committed and whose values and goals are in line with ours. FT people have a positive, proactive approach, a desire to succeed and an enjoyment of what they do. They thrive in a culture of respect, consideration, support and fairness. And, as in all Pearson companies, they are encouraged to be “brave, imaginative and decent”.
We regularly ask our staff for their views on working at the FT. Our anonymously-returned surveys show that people like the brand, the culture and the team atmosphere at the FT. They also like their jobs, share their knowledge and feel empowered to make decisions.
Here are some of their comments:
“The breadth of the graduate trainee experience is enormously valuable. It helps to prepare you for an equally varied career. Since completing the graduate trainee programme I have worked as a foreign correspondent in India, a contributor to Lex, a Westminster political correspondent, an editorial writer and I'm now chief US economics correspondent. Few media organisations encourage you to range so broadly across issues and around the world.” - Krishna Guha, Chief US economics correspondent, joined the FT as a graduate trainee in 1995.
“You can expect constant challenge, stimulation and unparalleled access to global decision makers.” - Stacy-Marie Ishmael, 2007 graduate trainee
