Great conditions, slow pace

Pros

Great company to work at, good benefits etc. Working to further a global brand which people value (even if mainly for the freemium product) is satisfying. Genuine attempts continuously made to improve the way the company works, which have had some impact.

Cons

Since 2009, company's owners gave up on the goal of releasing new innovative products to focus on financials. Plenty of scope for work, but not as interesting as many other companies in the space today.

Pros

Its just the best. You just cant describe it. Every day is special. Cant wait to get back to the office. Coworkers are nice, office is the best, food is super.

Cons

Theres really nothing bad to say. For some it might sound silly but for me who doesnt really like to travel, theres too much traveling needed.

Pros

Everybody at Skype is directly influencing the experience of millions of Skype's customers and time from customer feedback to changes to products is really fast. Smart people, passionate atmosphere and great site(s) are just few good examples to work for Skype.

Cons

Unnecessary divide between functions and sites. Technical leaders are not always taking critique as a chance to improve.
