Pros

- Very innovative product team that continues to push the limits within the travel industry - Never worked for a company that has such great colleagues where you really feel like you’re in it together

Cons

- Very dysfunctional “leadership” team who only care about IPO and not about the well-being of their employees or the companies they’re servicing - You will get burnt out. Expect to work 50-60+ hr weeks - You most likely won’t learn much from middle management - they do not inspire or know how to grow your career but are merely pawns to Sr Management to milk the most out of you - No 401k match

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
