web_stories See district success stories“The best way to describe the company culture here is that we’re a team. We actually care about each other and everyone’s success. Nobody wins here without all of us winning and everyone has that mentality. It’s an employee -centric company where the founders and the department heads care about taking care of the employees. That seems to be more important than anything else and I find that amazing.”

“When I transitioned from internship to full-time employment, my previous experience being in the internship made it a very seamless transition. I already knew what I was doing. I was just now given full-time responsibility, so having done the internship, especially for just under a year, got me in the door and got my feet wet without having the full-time pressure, and then once I went full-time, I felt confident and ready to go to start doing service calls on a full-time basis, start doing customer training.”

You know, we are a software company that's providing administrative software to our schools. This makes teachers' lives easier, parents' lives easier, students' lives, administrators' lives. It feels like we're doing a good thing.”

“Prior to being hired at Skyward, I used the software as a school office manager and fell in love with it. My history as a Skyward user in the school setting, a Customer Success Trainer and a customer success manager have given me context and understanding for customers’ experiences. That same empathy is abundant in the Customer Success department, creating a strong bond not only between Skyward and our customers, but also an unshakable bond between teammates. Skyward is great, and it’s the best move I ever made!”

“From time to time, we get questions from partners, customers and potential customers about why Skyward focuses so much on partnerships and from my perspective it comes down to us wanting to tell our customers yes. Yes, you’ll be able to utilize this. Yes, you’re going to have this functionality to help you move seamlessly throughout your day. It makes it easy for me to come to work every day because I’m a part of a team that is helping to tell a customer yes."
