Pros

My time here so far has been great. Not only am I learning something new almost every day, but I am always given the opportunity to work on new projects that I couldn't imagine being a part of anywhere else. You are put to the test quickly on whether or not you can do the job, but there no room for slacking here. It's a work hard, but certainly play hard culture!

Cons

There has been some shift in management recently, however we've been making a lot of great hires as well. I'm excited to see where this will lead us.

Pros

* It's a great brand * Great partners * Decent product with strong distribution

Cons

* Management style was heavily top-down, with decision-making concentrated among a small group of senior leaders. * This was the same when they were all working at KAYAK under the same group * I observed what I felt was preferential treatment of certain employees (notably of a certain ethnicity - IYKYK), which negatively impacted perceptions of fairness and inclusivity within the organisation. * The workplace environment could be highly stressful, and concerns raised by employees were not always addressed effectively. * Staff wellbeing, retention, and morale appeared to be ongoing challenges during my time with the company.
