Pros
Great benefits including free lunch, an on-site gym, a vacation reimbursement, Summer Fridays, a pub, a game room, etc. . . Some managers are very flexible about allowing employees to work remotely. The majority of people I interacted with were great - intelligent, dedicated, down to earth - the type of people you want to work with. The online travel industry is an exciting sector to be a part of and the work is interesting. The company does try to do some fun events to reward employees but they require you to have the time to be able to attend them.
Cons
No clear path to career advancement. It seems like the skills necessary to get a promotion are undefined, secret, and left to the whims of each manager. I worked so many hours I wasn't able to go on vacation or take advantage of other benefits like the gym, yoga and meditation classes, etc. They are trying to squeeze every ounce of productivity out of employees, running a lot of teams very lean, not promoting anyone at lower and mid-level, and people are burnt out and discouraged. A lot of turnover in HR and certain other teams makes you wonder what's going on.
