Pros
I joined TripAdvisor about 5 years ago and for the most part it has been a great experience. The company has great core values and there's room to move and grow. They are a global company and if you don't live in city with a TripAdvisor office working remote isn't a problem.
Cons
The company has gone through some massive organizational changes over the past year. The company is focused more than ever on being profitable. As a result a lot of its focus on the employees has gone sideways.

"One of the best places to work in Ottawa"

RecommendsPositive OutlookApproves of CEOI have been working at Tripadvisor full-time for less than a year
Pros
TripAdvisor has great profit sharing, great compensations in respect to the Ottawa market, and cool benefits like catered lunches and reembursal programs for transit. The office environment is medium sized, about 30 engineers and sports an open format, so you really get to know everyone. People are friendly and willing to help and generally, there isn't much people stepping on top of others, at least in engineering.
Cons
High expectations, sometimes stressful because release is weekly. Since this office is a virtual office, communicating with HQ and always being in the loop is a challenge. Things move very quickly at TripAdvisor.

May 23, 2017 –
Thanks for your review. I appreciate that you touched on many of the things that make TripAdvisor a great place to work- unique benefits, an open office environment, and friendly and helpful coworkers. I agree that we set high expectations for our teams and stick to our “speed wins” philosophy. Both have contributed greatly to our success over the years. Working across multiple locations and time zones presents communication challenges to any organization and we are no different. Although we’ve made strides in this area, there’s room for improvement and we’re always open to suggestions. Thanks again for your feedback and continued dedication to TripAdvisor. - Nick Shanny, SVP Engineering & Operations

If you're worth it, this place will reward you good. Very agile and strategic thinking.
Cons
Not many options for free lunches in Ottawa office. Parking in downtown is an extra expense if you're living outside the city.

Pros
Excellent team dynamics, exemplary management, free lunches, great location, flexible schedule, good family vs work balance, very high overall employee skill level, great mentorship, and last but not least, the company raison-d'etre is awesome.
Cons
Harsh technical interviews, not in line with daily tasks & environment. Salary is good, but not great given the expected skill level & throughput

Pros
Smart coworkers; strong positive culture; high compensation; rev-share and bonuses are top tier; lots and lots of perks and benefits.
Cons
There is a lot of effort expected (that you are very well compensated for); while above-and-beyond isn't required, certainly you'll get the most out of TripAdvisor if you're able to step up the commitment (and again, you'll be rewarded for it).

Pros
Things get done fast. Despite being a public company, it's not short term, quarterly focused. They care for employees and a genuine care for the end user. Philanthropy is a big priority.
Cons
HR programs are not as innovative as peer companies. Big company symptoms are creeping in.

Great atmosphere, great people, good benefits
Cons
Nothing except them opening a office in the Philippines. Everyone got laid off. That's capitalism I guess, they can pay 5 of them for the price of one American. Profit over people, 5 years tossed out like a piece of trash.

Thank you for your post. I am pleased to hear that you found the people, atmosphere and benefits were great. To clarify, the company has utilized outsourcing support from the Philippines since 2017. This is a not a recent engagement.
