Pros

Freedom to be creative and think laterally. In other businesses senior leadership often pays lip service to any operational challenges and then does nothing. At Skyscanner, the senior leaders listen to what is actually happening in the business and work with you to make changes happen.

Cons

Its very fast and not somewhere you can while away the hours for a pay check. You need to want to be part of something hugely successful and moving at an incredible pace. However, if you are ambitious and want to achieve great things in your career, this is somewhere that can really support that aspiration.
