      Pros

      Nice colleagues and clients. Nice office.

      Cons

      Ever since ERTE started, we have not been allowed to have extra meetings during the working hours which means that everyone is now scheduling them after working hours, resulting in us working extra without getting paid. This is causing tension within the teams where some team members are working extra when some aren't. TravelPerk also mentions how inclusive they are - recently, the weekly meeting was moved to the afternoon instead of the morning. There are dozens of people who are still on ERTE and whose working hours are different, they are again expected to work more. Teams are also still measured by KPIs when they're still on ERTE and earning and working far less than before. We're expected to do better than before ERTE started which is causing a lot of anxiety. Company has not announced which teams have been taken off ERTE and what the reasons have been. There is also no updates on the situation, we're meant to wait until the end of the year but have received no feedback on what is going to happen. It's been very frustrating to see how TravelPerk has evolved. It used to be a transparent company where it was encouraged to work hard but not so much that you will become stressed. It used to be a company where you could speak up but now middle management is making this harder. Each time you ask to voice your opinion, your managers defend the company and don't pass your feedback further.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. Adjusting to ERTE has been a challenge and our People Team have taken your feedback on board. We are sorry to hear you feel TravelPerk has changed and we are concerned to learn of the stress and anxiety you are experiencing, we would encourage you to reach out to your HRBP for a confidential conversation around these topics as soon as possible and they can advise on what internal and external help we can provide. The ERTE scheme is very complex and constantly evolving but we are planning the most up to date communications in the coming weeks based on the recent government updates to help clarify some of your points but some we will not be able to answer until later in the year. Obviously we would of course prefer everyone to be able to attend all meetings live but unfortunately this is not always possible, to clarify any meetings outside of your working hours are not mandatory. We provide materials to watch/read during working hours to update you on any out of ERTE hours company wide meetings so please do not feel you need to attend. We would like the opportunity to explore these topics further with you and support you as best we can so please do reach out to your HRBP. Thanks again for your feedback.

      Pros

      Great work-life balance clear path for promo and multiple career path options really good people Fun events always happening, the company cares about it's employees and wants everyone to collab and work as a team

      Cons

      with many tech companies there are constant changes and needing to adapt to those changes. The company is relatively young so there are growing pains that come with that

      Pros

      -Clear career growth path at Perk! The company is very transparent about the steps to become either an AE, AM, or IS after being an SDR. Perk is fast-growing and the opportunities are endless. They’re always adding new roles you can become after being in an entry-level role. -Product: One of the best products in the industry. Customers love talking about their business travel process, and it’s an easy product to be passionate about. My personal experience with our product is seamless and exactly how we market it. -Work-Life Balance: Extremely attainable. I have not once felt like I have to overwork myself or continue my work at home, which is a night and day difference from my previous job! -Hybrid-Work: 3 days in-real-life, and 2 days remote. Also 20 work-from-anywhere days as they encourage us to travel. Compensation: Extremely good. Base salary is at industry standard. Commission is uncapped and targets are very attainable to receive a 100%+ commission check. -Culture is unmatched! Extremely friendly sales team always looking to help and coach others in sales. Perk is very straightforward in how they envision their culture/environment. -Yearly company trip to Barcelona, Spain! And chances to travel and work out of other offices.

      Cons

      None that I can think of!
