Pros

A great place to be if you live in Canada. If you are a USA worker, see the Cons.

Cons

I am embarrassed to have this company on my resume. If you are in the United States, I'd strongly encourage you to reconsider joining. The company pivoted from discount hotel booking to trying to launch a card to make money off of poor people. It’s all a joke, as no one wants the product and the hotel bookings barely work: glitches all the time. Leadership has no clue what they want, except to make money, which they can’t seem to do. These guys are surrounded by tons of yes men based in Canada who drink the koolaid because they think this company is going to be the next big thing. Those of us who have worked in USA tech know that this company is not special. Leadership is cruel. I’ve seen them single out employees in big group meetings to say they’re not impressed with his work, that AI can do our jobs better. They get mad at you for sending DM's instead of public messages because of a policy they made up. The CEO brags about hustle culture, working 80 hour weeks, and how people who want 4 day workweeks are lazy. Diversity numbers are really bad, benefits are bad and systems are poorly run: an employee lost access to a month's worth of insured gender-affirming care due to a botched insurance changeover. Layoffs happen all the time.

Pros

Amazing culture and genuinely kind, smart people across teams. There’s a lot of opportunity to make a real impact and help build products that can truly help users save money and travel better. The work is ambitious, collaborative, and full of interesting problems to solve. Remote work flexibility and benefits are also excellent. Small perks like weekly Uber Eats credits, wellness and home office stipends, and education support make a big difference. I’ve also been lucky to work with supportive teammates and managers who advocate for their teams.

Cons

The environment is fast-paced and can be ambiguous at times. Priorities and scope shift often, and there can be periods of long hours depending on the project. Balancing business impact with user trust and user needs is also a real challenge, especially given some historical product decisions that the company has been working hard to improve. To their credit, I do believe there’s strong awareness internally and genuine effort from many teams to move things in a better direction, and it has improved significantly over time. Still, there’s more work to do. In a remote environment especially, learning to speak up and communicate proactively is important.

Pros

The benefits package is good, also they have "recharge days" which are some predetermined company-wide holidays.

Cons

As other reviewers mentioned, there is a culture of micromanagement that's extremely suffocating. Managers also seem as if they are trained to pressure their employees to "prove themselves" by doing things "beyond getting tasks done" and make you constantly feel insecure and inadequate by chasing vague performance goals. I say trained, because making you feel insecure about your performance was pretty common theme there. The constant stress, obsession for control and the resulting suffocation were just too much.
