Pros

I’m continually impressed with the care and thoughtfulness Skillshare has for its people. Transparency is a value and that shines through - from a no-negotiation salary policy to consistent open communication on company business metrics. I feel genuinely supported and cared for by my manager. We get several unplug days throughout the year, a month long sabbatical at 3 years, and many other great benefits. My work life balance is great. I get to work with smart and engaging coworkers solving interesting problems. We have a strong data team and business decisions are data informed and thoughtful.

Cons

Post-COVID is a time of transition for many online membership services, and like many companies, Skillshare is learning to adjust in a new economic climate. However, I feel confident that the teams are making the right decisions.

Pros

Productive remote work culture with clear policies and effective communication guidelines Skillshare has one of the most diverse work environments I have been in. As a gay immigrant in the USA, it is important for me to feel like I can be myself and I have found at Skillshare a community that not only supports me, but celebrates and encourages me to bring my whole self to work. It is something I noticed since my interview process and it continued through my onboarding and my day-to-day. Transparency is one of the company values and I see continued effort to create forums to talk through company performance, highlights, lowlights and plans to address any challenges the business may face.

Cons

Skillshare has to manage subscription fatigue in a challenging economy, which translates to tight budget management and lean resources. It is a fast-paced startup with high performance expectations.
