Pros

Skype is a great product and it is exciting to be able to shape a product that millions of people all over the world use every day to stay in touch and communicate. It is a challenge to have such wide variety of users, both in terms of their communication needs and their cultural background. The working environment is relaxed and informal and it's possible to work remotely if it's necessary. Colleagues are smart and nice and it's fun to work with people from many different countries. The office has a really nice cafeteria / chill-out area with a kitchen and comfy sofas.

Cons

As the company is still young and growing fast at the same time, the processes in place are not sometimes not ideal and it can be frustrating when things keep changing throughout a project. But at the same time that's a challenge as there is still room to improve how we work.

Pros

One of the fastest growing tech companies in the world. It feels great to help building the leading communication platform that millions of people use every day. Many very smart colleagues. Possibility to learn a lot. Fun and relaxed working environment. There are quite flexible and effective work procedures, management overhead is relatively low. Talented engineers have freedom to create and innovate.

Cons

The company is still very young and growing fast. It means that sometimes it can be quite stressful, because things are changing often. On the other hand it is very challenging. You have to be adaptive and flexible to keep the pace.
