Pros
Flexible work schedule and remote.
Cons
SkyKick used to pride itself on being a family that cared about its people. That couldn't be any further from the truth now. Barely 3 months ago they had an internal Quarterly review at which they told everyone how great the company was doing financially and the exciting projections for growth in the coming year. They then gave out Stock Options to people. Why give options to people when you are getting rid of them. That was especially nasty. After the Silicon Bank collapse (with whom SK banked) the CEOs sent out an email to everyone telling everyone not to worry that SK was fine and had all their finances squared away. Then came 2nd week of March and there was a 1 hour notice for a companywide meeting. In that barely 10 minute meeting they painted a completely different picture saying SK was in financial trouble and how sorry & heartbroken they were but had to layoff 48 people immediately. (Interesting Coincidence: 48 is just under the 50 person number that would subject them to the WARN Act which would require 60 days notice to employees of an impending layoff) Within 5 minutes of the meeting, emails from HR started arriving telling people they were getting laid off and scheduling an exit interview within the next 30-45 minutes. Rushed exit interview - because ostensibly they had 45+ more people live's to ruin. And then all access to company services was turned off. Didn't matter what kind of job you had (Dev, PM, Support, Marketing..), or how long you had been there (some people who had been there for 12 years) No loyalty at all, even to those people who had been there in the very beginning working 12-16 hour days, sometimes for weeks straight with no weekends off. Those people had helped set the foundation for the company. A lot of very good, loyal people got seriously screwed over - nothing like having to look for a job when the job market is already saturated with 10s of thousands of people who have also been laid off. General feeling internally is that the company has been lying to them and there is a significant amount of distrust. Engineering people are worried that SK is moving a much larger portion of their Dev work to Ukraine. People are polishing their resumes. Steer clear this will not be the Unicorn that the CEOs want you to believe that it will be. You don't layoff a significant portion of your workforce if you are on the right trajectory. BTW - SK may try and tell you otherwise, but compensation is about 30% less than the tech average. In a 'startup' you accept that because you expect to make it up when the company gets bought or has an IPO. Do not expect options to cover your salary investment into the company.
