Cons
Extreme toxic work culture Management hasn't got a clue how to run the business People resign on a daily basis Only 4 black people work in the London office and a similar number in the Edinburgh head office - lack of diversity and management doesn't seem to want to do anything to rectify this lack of diversity You are expected to accept any feedback given to you regardless of if it is true or not. If you try to explain/defend or give any feedback you will immediately be fired. I was told nothing that I had to say was important. As a new starter, you are expected to know how their system works on day one and if you make a mistake on day one that will follow you in month 3 even if you are no longer making that one simple mistake that you made on day one of starting with the company Bullying environment Management sit around in meetings all day wondering why so many staff are handing in their notice even though these leavers feedback the exact same things I am describing here to them in their so-called ambushed leavers exit interview and on Glassdoor, they still don't accept these reasons and act oblivious to it Worst company I have ever worked for in my 15 years of working in this field The engineering management team don't have a clue about what they are doing. The manager I supported doesn't seem to know how to open a word document when I was asked to create an end of the day task list in order to micromanage me even though they preach that they are an open inclusive culture where you manage your workload with no micromanagement. He's afraid of making any decisions, hides behind his management team to make key decisions for him If you do join this company be sure to keep your mouth shut and not give any feedback even if they encourage you to do so and say they are open to feedback - this is a trap The company’s future is questionable when compared to their other top competitors who treat staff with respect and value. At Skyscanner, they have a high turnover with staff and are constantly recruiting because people are constantly leaving Their onboarding is extremely poor for new members of staff
