Pros

Nice people. Great office. Great colleagues. Great overall work environment with good work-life balance and a varied product with lots of long-term growth potential.

Cons

Not terribly nimble for a company that is still quite small. Already bogged down in process and can be hard to get people's time to progress projects and ideas at a necessary pace.

Pros

Skyscanner has a great energy about it; a really open and collaborative environment which encourages development and creativity. It's fun, friendly and exciting!

Cons

I really can't think of any genuine cons....perhaps as the company continues to grow so rapidly there is the risk that the unique culture could change, but I think that's something that is recognised and very valued so I've no doubt the work will be put into maintain it!

Pros

Skyscanner is a fantastic place to work. The work is fast paced and interesting and all employees are encouraged to push themselves and not be afraid to voice their ideas. The benefits package is great and I really like the flexible/ home working policy. Its a fun place to come to every day and that is what work should be about!

Cons

In my 6 months I can not think of any cons.
