Pros

Employee empowerment is key. Not only does Skyscanner focus on continued learning, but they encourage their associates to speak their minds and problem solve. They create a culture where its okay to try something new and not simply fit into the mold. They provide flexible work hours, regular feedback, charity days to connect to the community, an abundance of vacation, inter-office bonding events, and an amazing community of free-thinkers I am happy to be a part of.

Cons

I got an error message asking that I put cons in. I'm sure I'm not the first Skyscanner employee to attempt to skip this section and end up seeing that red box. It's for a reason.

Pros

Skyscanner really live their values. We don't conform to expected norms and forge our own path. New polices often come from staff suggestions and as everything moves very quickly at Skyscanner then they are implemented fast too. I've never worked so hard and yet had so much fun and felt so alive - sounds a bit mad but it is true!!

Cons

The company is growing so fast so you need to develop all the time just to keep up with your job! This allows for lots of development but wouldn't suit everyone.

Pros

I've been here for 2 years now and every day if different. There is a culture that promotes ownership and a 'get it done' attitude. Everyone is forward looking too meaning there's no room for a blame culture - we just learn from things and move forward!

Cons

The biggest challenge is keeping up! It takes a great deal of discipline not to get sucked into meetings and emails and to continue to get stuff done.
