Pros
Working at Skyscanner has been a great experience.The company has very strong design talent and high standards, which constantly challenged me and helped me grow not only in design but also in product management, understanding technical constraints, collaborating with cross-functional teams, and managing stakeholders. Designers are encouraged to take initiative and contribute ideas on improving processes and making the product more valuable for users and the market. It’s also rewarding to work on a product that’s a clear leader in travel and widely recognised for providing transparent travel information. On top of that, the company genuinely puts users first, giving designers the opportunity to create truly user-centred experiences. The supportive team culture, approachable colleagues, and healthy work-life balance make it a very positive place to work.
Cons
Because the design team is very mature and high-performing, there is a large concentration of senior designers and relatively few mid-level roles, which can limit opportunities for less experienced designers.
