Lots of great surface level pros, but the cons are deal breakers - Engineer Skyscanner Employee Review

Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It is clear that aspects of your time here did not meet your expectations, and that is taken seriously. The company operates a hybrid model with an average of two days per week in the office (eight per month). This approach is designed to balance flexibility with the benefits of in-person collaboration, including stronger team connection, shared context, and opportunities for creativity and innovation. At the same time, there is recognition that individual circumstances vary, and flexibility remains an important principle. Social events are intended to be optional and inclusive. Some of our connection events such as breakfasts or lunches are hosted during working hours to ensure people can attend, and others, like our monthly socials, are hosted in the afternoon. In any case, colleagues are free to join or leave as they choose. These initiatives are designed to create opportunities for connection across teams rather than to influence progression or visibility. Progression and compensation decisions are based on performance, assessed through structured processes. These include calibration discussions involving cross-functional stakeholders and People partners trained to identify and challenge bias, with the aim of maintaining consistency and fairness. Diversity, equity, and inclusion remain a priority area. Dedicated teams work with leadership to implement policies and practices that support an inclusive environment and improve representation. This includes targeted efforts to increase diversity across different roles and levels, alongside ongoing work to strengthen awareness and capability across the organisation. Colleagues are encouraged to share feedback through both direct and anonymous channels so that gaps between intent and experience can be identified and improvements can continue, with the aim of enabling everyone to do their best work, grow, and feel a sense of belonging. Thank you for sharing your perspective; it is taken seriously and will be considered as part of ongoing efforts to shape the employee experience.
