Pros

Travel stipend Free lunch M-F Commuter Stipen Coffee bar (HQ) Great people

Cons

Pressure clearly comes from the top. People are not fully themselves at TripActions. It’s all about “how good do I look” rather than integrity, honesty, grit, work ethic. New ideas are not welcomed by upper management. Really do your due diligence when looking at TripActions. Ignore employee tenure (think company stock for early employees) and c-level team experience. This company is built on “trust & transparency” yet they aren’t honest about how comp structure works in recruiting. It is based on the performance of the CSM team. Which creates unnecessary tension. The way I was told I’d get promoted is if I “shout out people in Slack”. The sales org is so confusing. Other departments I’d say things seem pretty great. Revenue team is misleading, the execs don’t care about the IC’s, and they are closed minded. The CRO preaches buzz words with no emotion behind it. It seems to be scripted to “try to sound real”. If the comp plan is not explained to you in the interview.... that should tell you more than anything. It’s hard to know who to trust there. I’ve felt that way since day 1. Need to be careful

Pros

Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

Cons

The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
