Pros

Skylight has given me the opportunity to develop and grow in my career in a way that I didn't expect when I joined the company. I've developed skill sets far outside of my core job responsibilities and am encouraged to continually learn. The entire company is exceptionally friendly and pleasant to work with. The leadership team is approachable, kind and transparent. Teams continually look for process improvements and feedback is always requested from leadership on a regular basis. A collaborative, respectful culture, where everyone’s opinion is valued, is cultivated at Skylight. The employees are young and entrepreneurial. Everyone regardless of your experience is given a wide range of autonomy. You are empowered to become the company subject matter expert in your daily line of work, and will be given opportunities and recognition for your work when you are successful. There’s an office in Los Angeles and San Francisco. Employees are encouraged to go into the office Tuesday/Thursday (if you live in the area) to collaborate and work alongside each other. Company offers weekly team lunch reimbursement. The company gets together weekly for an open and transparent all-hands and meets in person quarterly for team bonding and strategic planning sessions. The company also organizes virtual happy hours, bi-weekly donuts (meetings) to interact with coworkers, and social slack channels such as foodie, music, book club, women's financial literacy etc. The company really cares about their customers and employees. The customer is at the forefront of every company decision. Employees’ ideas are always heard and respected. The company is also really generous and on numerous occasions have donated to various charitable organizations.

Cons

Holidays can be busy given the small size of the company, that being said, the company gives us the first Friday off every month for employee wellness in addition to public holidays, holiday shutdowns (timing depends on department) and unlimited PTO. Management has received feedback about employees being meeting heavy so they have recently implemented no-meeting Wednesdays!

Pros

Skylight is an amazing place to work, not only for the wonderful products they make but the team and leadership specifically are phenomenal. Having experienced sub par leadership in past roles I have really been impressed with Michael the CEO and the entire executive team. They are there to support you and ensure you are not only set up for success but doing what you want to be doing. There is a real, authentic focus on employee well-being here that I have never seen before. And I am a better, happier employee because of it. Some of the perks: - First Friday of most months off - $100 health and wellness monthly stipend - Ability to work remotely or hybrid going into office 2 days a week for those in LA or San Fran (really get the best of both worlds) - Quarterly in-person all hands events with all travel covered for company syncing and bonding with coworkers where anyone can pitch new ideas for products, processes, or company improvements. - Regular team happy hours - Rewarding work and awesome coworkers - Though some seasons get busier than others, you really can have a healthy work-life balance here.

Cons

- Seasonal busy periods may require longer hours around Mother's Day, Back to School, and Christmas but if you are proactive it can be pretty manageable - A lot of autonomy in each role, you really have to be comfortable setting your own pace and deadlines without a ton of structure - It's a small company so you'll likely be wearing a few different hats and juggling multiple responsibilities
