Pros

Flexible hours A lot of events Fast paced Good colleagues

Cons

There is evident favouritism, and very little trust in upper management or HR in dealing with actual issues being reported. Some (many) managers are highly protected from their mistakes, and are maintained even when unethical behaviour or unprofessional behaviour is shown and reported. When we received the results of the engagement survey, and they were low, one of the key factors was “distrust in the fact that the company would take action on it”. Evidently, the results were right, and 6 months later, the situation remains the same. Cities outside of the US are stagnant, even though OT has been in the market for over 10 years, due to extremely little focus from upper management, and poor, micromanaging DMs.

Pros

* It's a great brand * Great partners * Decent product with strong distribution

Cons

* Management style was heavily top-down, with decision-making concentrated among a small group of senior leaders. * This was the same when they were all working at KAYAK under the same group * I observed what I felt was preferential treatment of certain employees (notably of a certain ethnicity - IYKYK), which negatively impacted perceptions of fairness and inclusivity within the organisation. * The workplace environment could be highly stressful, and concerns raised by employees were not always addressed effectively. * Staff wellbeing, retention, and morale appeared to be ongoing challenges during my time with the company.
