Pros

An environment where innovation, collaboration and having fun are actively encouraged on a day to day basis. A leadership team that empower and are transparent, making sure that everyone feels like they're a part of the company's continued development and success.

Cons

I wouldn't say it's a con, but with any global company where the HQ and the majority of the leadership team is located in a specific country, the challenge faced is making sure that the rest of the business feels included.

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.
