Pros

The best part to me is the awesome people. It's a mix of a variety of ages, backgrounds and personalities. They're all super nice, caring, authentic, fun to work with and hang out with. I learn a lot from them. Many people have been at the company for a long time and it's been rare to see people quit. On a regular basis there are fun and interesting company events and team building activities. The office environment is very comfortable . Casual dress code, beautiful views, customized office equipment. The type and level of communication with management is great. I know any time I have a question or issue the door is always open. Management has been super supportive and understanding when I've needed it, and also has done a good job of mentoring and coaching me to be the best that I can. Good mix of giving very effective training, giving you the space to make it your own, and having constant opportunities for learning and improvement. The work is challenging and rewarding. It's great to be able to help candidates in their job searches, and I get to talk to many amazing and brilliant people. It's also great to be able to help high tech companies grow, and be able to work with so many cool companies doing great things.

Cons

It took awhile for the hard work to pay off, but looking back it was definitely worth it. Being a sales job, there is a lot of rejection and ups and downs, so you have to stay strong and steady even when times are tough, and not get too high just because you had a great month or two.

Pros

First of all, it's a real US company located in Bay area, not like a fake "staffing companies" from India pretended to be an "American companies". Skyrocket recruiters are professional and do understand what we're talking about, I mean programming languages, technology stacks, frameworks etc. - this is pretty rare these days! Second, they aren't cheap and never try to cheat on you with W2 contract rates or FT salaries, they are always provide you a fair market rate, I really appreciate that! Third, Skyrocket never spammed or blackmailed me, never ever! All emails or calls I received was about new opportunities (a real ones, from the exclusive Skyrocket clients, not a positions can be found on job boards and popular websites).

Cons

Can't remember even one! They are definitely good and not annoying.

Pros

I started working at skyrocket several years ago. The on-the-job training is very good. I came in with limited experience and was kind of a novice, but management was very good at making sure that I got the training I needed and supported me all the way. There is also lots of room for learning on the job. The work itself is very satisfying. It's an exciting and important industry, and it's cool to help companies and candidates grow. The people are great, and I've made some great friendships that will likely last a lifetime. Most of the current team has been there for several years. Everyone is focused and passionate about their work, but easy going and easy to get along with. It's nice that the company does a variety of interesting social outings. Team members often hang out together outside of work, and there's a great team spirit and comradery. It's a great place to work if you’re keen on having a good work/leisure balance in your life, but is also great if you want to work hard and make a lot of money. Overall, people seem to work pretty hard, and enjoy doing it. One last thought.. have always felt like a valued part of the team, even from day one. Management is very approachable, and frequently acts on good suggestions by employees.

Cons

If you don't close on deals, you aren't going to be making a ton of money. It's not for everyone.
