Vantaggi

CEO is very trusting, ambitious but not unrealistic Perks are good Some very smart people working there (although that comes with some arrogance)

Svantaggi

Jobs are missold to you when you interview. They talk the talk of a modern tech company but under the hood it's not like that at all. 'We have autonomy! We are agile. We work in squads and tribes! We have an open culture' Absolute rubbish!! After you get past a painful and long interview process where you aren't told what you'll be working on. They assign you to a squad. The squad may not be what you are looking for or even need someone with your skill set but hey that doesn't matter, you have a job at skyscanner, a cool tech company, you should be grateful. Lots of pressure from middle management. Little to no support. Lots of 'sign off' disguises as 'forums to help you' My advice don't waste your time going for an interview if you plan to work in their London offices. It's not worth your time.

Thank you for your honest feedback – we really value it. We’ve been fine-tuning our recruitment process over the past 6-12 months and will continue to do so, so your comments are helpful. It would be good to discuss your feedback in greater detail in person, particularly as we’d very much like to create a work environment where all of our team members can thrive. We’d welcome you contacting someone in the Talent team who you’d be comfortable speaking with, who will work with you to address any issues and do so in confidentiality.

Vantaggi

Great culture. You truly get the sense that people care for one another and want the full team to succeed, not just individuals. High exposure to commercial strategy early on Even in junior roles, you’re not just pushing buttons, you're helping to solve complex challenges. That’s rare and valuable. Cross-functional visibility. You get a front-row seat to how product, commercial, and marketing intersect, especially in Ads. Good place to understand how a travel marketplace actually operates. Ownership culture (if you lean into it). If you’re proactive, you can carve out scope quickly. Global exposure. Working across regions (Americas, EMEA, APAC) gives a broader view of how airlines and OTAs operate differently, which is useful for long-term career growth.

Svantaggi

All the flexibility and benefits above come with the con of being a bit too flexible at times, leading to gaps in effective tooling and resource to tackle things in a timely manner. However, this is mitigated by the collaborative culture.
