Make Your Own Decisions but Watch Your Back

Pros

Working in a startup is chaotic and an adrenaline-filled roller coaster ride. If you enjoy that kind of pace, you'll find it at Skyward.

Cons

I was perfectly happy for about 8 months. Then randomly began getting targeted for ridicule by my manager in team meetings. I couldn't understand it until I received my annual review. My supervisor blindsided me with a document filled with petty grievances and untruths. The lies were submitted by an "anonymous" reviewer. When I asked why none of their grievances had been discussed with me previously, the CEO said to me and I quote "because those discussions are so hard". I quit within days of my review. I could not work somewhere where the management style was to undermine someone's confidence in order to make them quit which is what that whole scenario was about. I often think that bad reviews are by someone who could not do their job or were bad at their job and motivated by sour grapes. You can make your own decisions but at the time this happened to me, several other employees had the same experience as I did. If you work there, my advice is to watch your back.

Absolutely Terrible

Pros

The experience here will make you gain a new found appreciation for everything else in your life.

Cons

Underpaid and overworked. Terrible senior management. They do not listen to anyone but themselves. The company lacks focus and constantly pivots, many times back to the originally proposed plan. They lie, backstab and take credit for other people's work and will force you to quit. They have made even the most loyal and devoted employees to quit. Zero room for growth, just a bunch of promises that is never realized. If you enjoy overworking and being a code monkey with no ability to contribute other than constantly redoing your work per their constantly changing requirements, you'll be fine here.

Pros

Dogs are allowed (but they pee and poop on the floor).

Cons

I’m not a fan of saying negative things about previous employers, but I feel like I need to set the record straight for anyone who might be considering a career at Skyward. I’ve worked at some pretty bad places, but Skyward is – by far – the most toxic, negative environment I have ever worked in. The company lacks focus and instead tries to do lots of things poorly. Management is unprofessional, catty, and backstabbing. They will treat you like crap, then try to get you to quit so that they don't have to fire you and risk paying you unemployment. At least 6 people have quit in the past several months because of things like this.
