Pros

Work in a fun environment at a fast growing company. Working in a smaller company allows for lots of cross-functional interaction.

Cons

Get paid 15-25k less than industry standards. This is such a great place to work but I'm afraid that employees will continue to leave for equivalent roles elsewhere that pay significantly more.

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.
