Pros

Lots of positive energy within the company. Everyday was exciting.

Cons

Not that great... No real direction. People at the top are very disingenuous. I really wanted to like working there.

Pros

Free lunches, the mill is cool, most co-workers are truly enjoyable.

Cons

Management. All of it. Hiring more and more folks, spending money on ridiculous seminars, hokey management methodologies, guest speakers, etc, then laying off everyone that left the last 30 positive reviews in one fell swoop, just weeks after a push for reviews. All to make a recruiting video flaunting the 4.9 Star Glassdoor ratings.

We appreciate critical reviews that allow us to better ourselves and the way we run and grow Skipio. However, we would like to offer clarification regarding various points you brought up. First, we do not require employees to leave reviews, nor do we influence or incentivize employees to do so. We do follow Glassdoor’s recommendation and “encourage employees to leave honest reviews" on Glassdoor. As a part of this, we periodically remind employees to leave reviews if they previously haven’t. Second, our marketing department did indeed use a high Glassdoor rating in a recruitment video with zero knowledge that a layoff was around the corner. The timing of the release of that video was unfortunate, especially when this company shift was heartbreaking and difficult for everyone involved. Third, building on employee strengths, inviting speakers, and holding seminars and team building activities is not only a very important part of Skipio but also a big part of many other companies striving to create great culture. We’re sorry to hear that you did not find those experiences valuable. We hope to create more fulfilling experiences for employees in the future and appreciate your feedback on this matter. Finally, the Skipio management team collectively spent hundreds of hours writing recommendations, editing resumes, and reaching out to their personal networks to try to place every single individual that was affected by the layoffs. As of right now, 100% of those employees have jobs. We love our past and current employees and only wish them the best as they pursue their goals now and in the future.

Pros

It's a great environment for those who enjoy working independently and know when it's time to collaborate. There are many opportunities to own projects and to explore new ideas. Employees look out for one another and always step up to help.  The product itself has never been better and it's constantly seeing improvements. Departments and teams are more on the same page than ever before. Especially with the new Mary Kay partnership, the company has a bright future. Many former team members laid important groundwork for that to come to fruition and that's not forgotten by current employees. The flexibility during COVID-19 has also been amazing.

Cons

As another review mentions, decisions are often made reactively instead of proactively. This leads to confusion and inconsistencies between departments, and it sometimes even causes problems externally when talking to customers. This is always improving, but old habits are still in the process of being broken. Pay isn't necessarily competitive and I know there have been pay disparities between similar roles in the past.
