Pros

The Company is forward thinking from the inside out. From the Board, leadership, and every team member in between - we are a cohesive unit who collaborates together to make things happen. Leadership understands that people are the biggest asset in an organization, and they actually back it up, by providing an excellent work-life balance, remote work environment, competitive compensation, and benefits. Not to mention people are actually happy to work here! Which is a big deal and speaks volumes about a company. If you haven't gathered this yet, I am really happy and proud to be a part of SKWD (and no, no one paid me to write this lol). They (the people I work with and for) have earned my loyalty and that is no small feat. If you would like to work for a company where you are valued for all the intrinsic and diverse things that make YOU awesome, and that also helps you to develop those talents along the way, while working with a group of people who are passionate about values, integrity and quality of work, I highly recommend you check out SKWD.

Cons

The only thing I can think of is due to the excessive amount of growth the company has experienced since going public, at times the workload is excessive. But I believe this will be rectified in due time, it is just the usual growing pains of growing so quickly. And we want to keep growing, so we are all willing to put in the work, and work hard, to achieve our strategic vision and goals, together as a team.
