Pros

I worked in the i18n department for over a year and I have to say the experience was fantastic overall. There was a lot of work to do, but given KAYAK's half start-up, half mid-sized company, you can see the impact of your work first-hand, with little bureaucracy, fewer meetings than most companies out there and a great, friendly atmosphere. There are plenty opportunities for growth and development, both in-team and across departments.

Cons

Nothing comes to my mind. I really loved it there and only left as I was commuting from another city.

Pros

Great benefits: Healthcare had great coverage and affordable monthly payments. I also really appreciated the work-from-wherever policy as well as all the office snacks. Fantastic people: I genuinely loved the people I worked with—they made me feel like I belonged and was appreciated. My manager worked to build me up, something that can't be said for a lot of places. Travel perks: The ability to travel for work made this experience incredibly rewarding.

Cons

Slow mobility: Trying to get promoted felt like a moving goalpost—the expectations changed every six months and made it nearly impossible to get to the next step. Even then, the business was stingy about who gets promoted, which was incredibly discouraging after years of trying to prove myself.
