San Francisco Business Times and Silicon Valley
Business Journal Give Skillz High Marks in Categories Including
Leadership, Communications, and Team Dynamics
Skillz (NYSE: SKLZ), the leading mobile games platform bringing
fair competition to players worldwide, today was named to the San
Francisco Business Times and Silicon Valley Business Journal list
of “Best Places to Work.”
This recognition, which is given to top companies “known for
recruiting and retaining the best and brightest employees,” is a
testament to the culture and community Skillz has established over
the past nine years. The accolade also puts Skillz in a notable
group alongside other leading companies, including Salesforce,
Fidelity Investments, and SAP.
Winners of this special honor are determined based on employee
responses to the third-party Best Places to Work survey. The survey
explores six distinct categories: Communications and Resources,
Individual Needs, Manager Effectiveness, Personal Engagement, Team
Dynamics, and Trust in Leadership.
“Being named a ‘Best Place to Work’ is a tribute to all of our
incredible Skillzians,” said Andrew Paradise, CEO and founder of
Skillz. “Our people drive our success, and we take pride in
fostering a dynamic, inclusive culture that inspires them to
collaborate, push the limits of innovation, and have fun along the
way.”
Skillz is leveling the esports playing field, a goal that is
reflected in its company culture, which embraces fairness and
accessibility. Each employee and team embodies Skillz’s core values
– such as honor, collaboration, willingness, and balance – and is
committed to infusing them into all they do.
Even in the face of the global pandemic, Skillzians’ company
pride and camaraderie took center stage over the past year, driven
by virtual employee esports tournaments, hangouts, game nights, and
lunches. It comes as no surprise that Skillz employees are
encouraged to play games during the workday, which helps them
maintain a sense of community through friendly competition and
empowers them to improve the Skillz platform with new features and
game ideas.

Work” and how to join the rapidly growing team across a wide
