      Pros

      -Hired fun people to work with (but many of them refuse to do any hard work). -Bar / Nice office -Free lunches -Loved the company at first but as they continued to grow I became increasingly unhappy

      Cons

      -A ton of employees are unhappy (high turnover) -Agree with a previous statement that founders are unwilling to give up control and micromanage -Hired way to quickly - then handled laying off 20% of their staff in the most terrible manner -Try to cover up internal leadership issues by providing employees with perks and events -Forced everyone to go to leadership training (aka group therapy sessions) when the leaders couldn't take action on the advice they were given by the coach

      Thank you for sharing this, and I am saddened to hear that you are not satisfied. I encourage you to speak to your manager about how you are feeling, or come directly to me. The decision to reduce our staff was extremely difficult, but it was necessary for the long-term success of HotelTonight. There is no "perfect" way to do something like this, but we worked hard to treat all of our former team members as respectfully as possible. The performance of the business has never been better. We’re growing 100% over last year, and will be profitable next year. I'm excited for the innovations that the team will release in the coming months. We're proud of the culture at HotelTonight, and we provide the perks and host the events that we do because we want to create an environment that is fun, collaborative and where people can do their best work. The group-coaching is designed to help us all develop skills to make us all better at HotelTonight and wherever our careers may take us. Our internal surveys show overwhelming support for these coaching programs. We will continue to offer these things at HotelTonight, because the happiness and success of our team is a top priority for us. We appreciate your feedback, and hope that you choose to address these issues with us directly.

      Pros

      In my time with Hotel Tonight, I was able to get a lot of hands on experience. I was able to come up with User Experience (UX) concepts and User Interface (UI) designs and get direct feedback from the product team and management. As a designer, I wore many hats as I assisted with iOS, Android, and tablet designs. I was able to collaborate with the designers from the product team as well as the programmers. In my previous experiences working with design studios, most of my designs existed solely as concepts and rarely saw the light of day. At HT, I was able to come up with design concepts, collaborate, iterate, and saw most of it "ship" out the door in the form of actual app release updates (all relatively quickly I might add!)

      Cons

      I found the people at HT to be very friendly and didn't find anyone to be difficult to work with. HT recognize they need more design leadership and are making hires to address those needs. As an employer, I found them to be very flexible and accommodating. As a designer, I was occasionally at odds with the projects they chose to pursue for the quarter. Their approach sometimes feel too piecemeal and fragmented. While I appreciate the needs and goals of their business, to say it succinctly "good design is good business."

      Thank you very much for your feedback. Design is a huge part of the HotelTonight culture and a key priority (my first job was doing Photoshop design work, in fact). We will definitely continue to balance our business needs with our goal of shipping amazing product experiences. I appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
