Pros

1) Work life balanced as most of the european companies. 2) Generally the compensation is not bad. 3) A very good place if you just wanna stay safe, as travelling is always the right business. 4) If you are good at talking, thats the right place to go

Cons

1) Too many inexperienced mid level managers, as Skyscanner has been growing for more than a decade, many people ONLY work for Skyscanner for their entire career till now, no outside experience, which lead to a very bias mis-impression that, they "are" all good, and will not listen to any tiny little negative feedback. 2) No visible bar, when discussing about performance, the bar varies, not clear or visible bar given. 3) 3 times major re-organization within 12 month, I did ask 3 times whats the expected outcome of re-org, the answer remains, "there is no diff from your site". Pretty much game of thrones. 4) The company is heading from a very transparent culture to a game of thrones culture with the 2 years I served. eg: laid off all the testers without much info given till the very day. 5) C level encourage employee to challenge their manager's decisions, but end up firing.

Pros

Flexible hour, work from home, work from home country and different company offices, relatively low levels of stress

Cons

Career progression is impossible unless you're not Brit working at the HQ or with many friends in the organization. Unfortunately, many managers have no people management skills at all.
