What does the leadership team need to get better at?
Accountability and consistency needs to improve.
The approvals process is ridiculous. Give us a yearly budget so we can improve our team and player experiences.
The CEO needs to leave. He's lacking in leadership skills and human decency. Treats people with so little respect it's disgusting. The CEO, CRO, and CTO need to listen to the more experienced leaders they've hired because you all are going to sink this ship.
Less Thrash; too much push to hit numbers for investors without considering work needed to make those numbers within the timeframe
You're a bunch of two-faced lying manipulators.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
If stock had actually been priced fairly. Too bad the leadership provided misleading figures.
The stock price has tanked, which leads to a lot of underpaid employees. The work environment and how hard they push employees does not warrant what most people’s compensation is no
We are not paid commensurate with our workloads and experience. There is no truly entry level jobs, but for tech, we're making entry level wages. We recently tried to ask SLT why that is, and what they are doing to make it right - and our whole department got talked down to and gaslit for it.
Faster promotion cycle; my promotion has been held up in the clockworks for almost a year at this point
Found a new employee at my level in my team makes $10K more than me; I've been here 2+ years
What do your coworkers need to improve and how could you work together better?
Be change agents as opposed to "yes" people. Question the way leadership treats people. Question how the company is operated. Offer solutions and implement change.
We need competent people working here.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
The CEO and cofounder need to step down. No one actually respects them. They’re running the company into the ground. A total scotch and burn metho
The CEO, CRO, and CTO need to learn how to treat people with respect. Don't automatically jump to "but I built a $1Billion company so I must know everything" mentality. You all don't know that much and that's why your company is tanking and everyone is leaving. Listen to and empower those you hire.
It's all smoke and mirrors. Garbage.
Give middle managers more power. Stop concentrating power at the top. Diversify revenue from a few top devs and stop building a million features. Simplify the SDK.
What would you improve about your company's interview process?
Using terrible tests to filter people out. Wasting people's time.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
terrible business model. I think this ship is going down. Not sure if anything can save it
There is no autonomy and the CEO needs to sign off on everything. We hire smart and capable people. The management team needs to be trusted to deliver. Waiting for direction and sign off for every little thing from the execs causes a lot of spinning wheels.
What would you most like to see improved at your company?
As a gamer, Skillz is a revelation. It's not just about playing; it's about mastering games and challenging opponents to win cash prices. Truly one-of-a-kind!
