Pros
The vast majority of Skillcrushers are good people doing good. Most of the employees are there for the right reasons, to make a life in tech possible for women. That just doesn't ring true all the way up the chain.
Cons
The irony is that Skillcrush sells tech courses as a way to *escape* jobs with toxic work environments. If the company were actually interested in improving women’s careers, they should have started at home. A little self-reflection and I doubt they would have lost so many talented women over the years. The gossipy, manipulative and immature behavior from the CEO and management is out of control, and the gaslighting I witnessed makes any growth pretty self-limiting. Smart executives hire talented people and get out of their way, but that is not the experience I had here. I felt like a glorified bot subject to varied and inconsistent whims (and then blamed for poor outcomes) and not permitted to bring my own ideas, solutions, and experiences to the table. All the talk of better ways to work, flexibility, etc. only works if you practice what you preach. In the end no remote lifestyle is worth this amount of disrespect.
