Pros

Skyscanner offers great benefits and flexible working. The inclusive, non-hierarchical culture encouraged everyone to speak up and have an impact regardless of the position and experience.

Cons

Sometimes the communication can be a bit chaotic. The career progression is not standardized so it's hard to assess understand how to climb the career ladder effectively.

Pros

Skyscanner is a fantastic place to work. Aside from the many benefits like gym discounts, bonus, yoga, mindfulness classes, health and pension there are many reasons to work here! Our teams (squads) work closely on hard problems, designers working alongside project managers and engineers in an autonomous environment. You are encouraged to be the best you can be with regular work in progress sessions and peer feedback. This has helped me in some cases to completely change my thinking and attitude and has helped me immensely. Flexible working environment is excellent. Culture and values are wholesome and genuinely believed, encouraged and form part of our working day. We truly do believe in helping every single traveller and putting them first!

Cons

Can be difficult to be promoted as a sole contributor if you do not want to go down a people management route. However it's not impossible, our competencies allow for people to move forward even if they do not wish to people manage. Environment can change and pivot pretty fast, you need to be prepared for this and be adaptable to change. We are short of engineers and cannot hire quickly enough. We need more engineers please to build the great ideas we have! Eager to move forward and cannot go quickly enough.
