Pros
Colleagues are highly skilled, friendly, empathetic, and easy to communicate and work with. Skyward’s staff is the best part and the organization should work harder to retain employees and keep employees satisfied.
Cons
Onboarding - Project onboarding was nonexistent and unorganized. Onboarding consistent of typical HR tasks then jumping straight into a project stand up without much explanation. There was high pressure from management to push code quickly, and as soon as possible (my first push to production was day 3) — which is a reoccurring theme throughout and across projects and management. Management & Leadership - Skyward’s leadership and management are equivalent to an early-stage startup with low-maturity product teams, with all the “growing pains” associated with it. There is a significant disconnect between leadership vision and management decision-making, resulting in no unified company direction. Problems are approached with a “wait and assess” mindset, allowing problems to fester until they impact the bottom line and have to be confronted. A few projects have no project/product manager, resulting in aimless/meandering product development cycles without clear goals and timelines. Culture - There can sometimes be a “That is above my pay grade” and “It’s not my problem” mindset. Resulting in a lack of urgency. Transparency - Transparency with leadership decision-making, communication, and overall company health has declined significantly. Layoffs occurred without notice or explanation.

Pros
Working at Skyward IT Solutions is a fantastic experience. I find Dmitry to be an inspiration, and he is technically savvy as well, not like many IT company leaders, and he really cares about what we do here, and the customers we serve. The team here is like a big family, always ready to help and collaborate. There's a real sense of camaraderie that makes every day enjoyable. One thing I love is the commitment to personal growth – they invest in your development, and you're encouraged to explore new skills and technologies. I definitely feel like my ideas are valued - even if I have an idea the rest of the team/group doesn't think is the best solution, I am heard, and I appreciate that. The work-life balance is one of the best I've experienced, ensuring you can have a career without sacrificing time with loved ones. Plus, the diverse and inclusive culture makes it a truly welcoming place to work, where different perspectives are celebrated. Overall, I don't really feel like this is a "job" because I enjoy what I do here so much. I am really proud to be a part of this team and consider myself very fortunate.
Cons
None really. If I thought there was one worth describing here, I'd rather talk to one my my leaders about it so we could come up with a plan to make a change. I feel like they'd be receptive to it.
