Skyscanner changes a lot but is innovative
|
I joined shortly before their acquisition by CTrip and for the initial three years after and it was a great place overall. I have heard it change since covid though.

Best work life balance
|
The company respects work-life balance, with 21 annual leaves. Smart and passionate people in the company, but the operation is quite slow because the company is quite centralized.

Inept managers, and no staff loyalty
|
Working as a freelancer with Skyscanner gives you the opportunity to be a part of the team while maintaining a freelance lifestyle. So you'd think.
In reality, the management team is a very tight-knit bunch who are averse to change. Having said that, most people I worked with were very nice. But there are a few middle managers who are not only grossly incompetent, making mistakes then expecting freelancers to take the blame for and fix them, but also rude and not fit to take on the role of manager. How these people got jobs still amazes me. If your face or attitude doesn't fit, or if you try to question the way things are done - heaven forbid you may have an idea to improve a current system or policy - this is instantly dismissed. If you're unlucky, you will be too.
Skyscanner are a huge company with the mindset of a startup. They don't have policies and procedures in place. There's no 'Skyscanner way'. Yet when staff members try to suggest a productive way to do something, they're met with negativity. Because of this lack of consistency, mistakes are often made - leading to serious consequences that affect the brand's reputation and the company as a whole. Nobody takes responsibility for this,
There is little to no guidance for freelancers starting out with the company and no onboarding at all (unless you count a manual to read through). This means the only way to figure out what's going on is to ask questions, lots of questions. Management don't like this and some managers in particular either take over a week to respond or don't respond at all to requests for help - yet still expect deadlines to be met.
The utter disorganisation also means that there's little to no staff loyalty. Freelancers are often replaced or let go at short notice and never treated as a 'real' member of the team, sadly.
I'd heard great things about working at Skyscanner several years ago, but from what I hear it's gone sadly downhill since then. The atmosphere - even when working remotely - is stressful and freelancers are often given tasks without clear direction or instructions, leading to errors and confusion.
In addition, rates for freelancers are low yet expectations are high.

Great data led culture
|
Skyscanner has one of the best data-led culture in the growth teams. Everyone gets to access data via SQL or tableau easily and make decisions based on data. This creates a better and stronger culture with less guessing and blaming when things when south.

Massive staff churn
|
Skyscanner used to be an engagement-focused company where staff were treated in a fair and tolerant way.
Since recently it's become a task-focused company where managers are not at all bothered about promoting a positive working environment for all. I've heard of various former colleagues where managers create an intimidating, hostile, degrading, aggressive or belittling environment for them.
Middle managers are engaged in box ticking. Senior managers are obsessed with data but incapable of interpreting it meaningfully.
|
Good salary - some nice colleagues left.
|
Terrible middle management - new joiners are careerists elbowing their way up

Past its glorious day
|
too much hierarchy and a lot of blockers that prevent you from doing your job in the best possible way but also block other teams that depend on your work – chaotic environment
incompetent senior managers having no clue what to do
I had panic attacks due to my horrible line manager.
|
Nice events, good work life balance, great offices
|
horrible management inexperienced micromanaging, politics

Creative workplace where people are allowed to grow
|
There really isn't such a thing as a typical workday at Skyscanner, which is what makes it such a great place to work. Very collaborative environment.
|
Creative coworkers, flexible workdays, ability to work remote, fully covered healthcare, generous bonuses
|
Sometimes management is slow to respond to requests, work/life balance can be lacking at certain times
