Pros

Pros Skyrocket Ventures is a great company with even better people. I worked here for five years and can’t find enough good things to say about this place. Excellent training from my very first day, and continued development up until my last. That’s one thing I really liked about this job – yes, there is plenty of attention on your training in the beginning, but not so much where you feel like it’s the only thing you do all day. You have the ability to start earning good money right out of the gate. Skyrocket also has a really great company culture and team-oriented environment. Super friendly bunch of people who work very hard, but at the same time have a good sense of humor. We often hang out outside of work and have lots of company functions. Movie nights are pretty common, company lunches/dinners. We celebrate birthdays, holidays, work anniversaries, all that stuff. I’ve created and maintained some very good friendships here, so if company culture is important, this is the place for you. The earning potential is also a very big pro. Hitting six figures is absolutely possible. It goes without saying, but it requires hard work, patience, and occasionally spending extra time in the office. Not everyone is going to make that much money, but if you can learn to work with a sense of urgency, and make a conscious effort to improve and hone your skills, the sky is the limit. But even if that’s not your style, there are opportunities to work here and get paid by the hour, so either way, I would recommend working here! Great skillset acquired by working here. You learn to have excellent communication skills by talking to people from literally all over the world. You will learn how to be a more persuasive person, and how to manage your time effectively. Those are skills you use on a daily basis here and those can/will transfer over to most other jobs in the future. Other pros: laid back work environment. The boss is very accommodating with your schedule as long as you’re not a lazy person. In general, the employees live a pretty healthy lifestyle, so if you’re interested in learning how to maintain a healthier diet, you will no doubt get schooled on that here!

Cons

No cons that I can think of. I guess I could mention the fact that this job isn’t for everyone. If you’re looking to clock in and out somewhere and just collect a paycheck, this probably won’t work out. That’s most likely the case for the people that have left negative comments on here. I can understand how this job can be frustrating if you’re not a very motivated person, or give up easily. You will be successful here if: you are motivated, are not an idiot, you can deal with ambiguity, work quickly, have thick skin and can overcome rejection, have a positive attitude and can take responsibility for yourself.

Pros

First of all, it's a real US company located in Bay area, not like a fake "staffing companies" from India pretended to be an "American companies". Skyrocket recruiters are professional and do understand what we're talking about, I mean programming languages, technology stacks, frameworks etc. - this is pretty rare these days! Second, they aren't cheap and never try to cheat on you with W2 contract rates or FT salaries, they are always provide you a fair market rate, I really appreciate that! Third, Skyrocket never spammed or blackmailed me, never ever! All emails or calls I received was about new opportunities (a real ones, from the exclusive Skyrocket clients, not a positions can be found on job boards and popular websites).

Cons

Can't remember even one! They are definitely good and not annoying.

Pros

I started working at skyrocket several years ago. The on-the-job training is very good. I came in with limited experience and was kind of a novice, but management was very good at making sure that I got the training I needed and supported me all the way. There is also lots of room for learning on the job. The work itself is very satisfying. It's an exciting and important industry, and it's cool to help companies and candidates grow. The people are great, and I've made some great friendships that will likely last a lifetime. Most of the current team has been there for several years. Everyone is focused and passionate about their work, but easy going and easy to get along with. It's nice that the company does a variety of interesting social outings. Team members often hang out together outside of work, and there's a great team spirit and comradery. It's a great place to work if you’re keen on having a good work/leisure balance in your life, but is also great if you want to work hard and make a lot of money. Overall, people seem to work pretty hard, and enjoy doing it. One last thought.. have always felt like a valued part of the team, even from day one. Management is very approachable, and frequently acts on good suggestions by employees.

Cons

If you don't close on deals, you aren't going to be making a ton of money. It's not for everyone.
