Pros

If you see any positive reviews about this horrific company, someone probably paid them. They used to fly new hires to Barcelona for onboarding week but due to TravelPerk’s financial struggles, this has been eliminated. To be frank, the first week will probably be your best week. Once you start mingling and meeting the rest of the staff/ high school gossipers, everything will start to unravel and you’ll wish you never accepted the offer.

Cons

From the actual product itself to the inexperienced leadership team, I’m not sure how in the world TravelPerk reached unicorn status. Not only are their customers extremely unhappy but so are their people. LOL to HR’s responses about feedback - they clearly don’t know the definition of this buzzword. I’ve spoken to multiple TKers not only in the US but also in the European offices who have expressed major concerns around unfair compensation/ raises, non existent commission structures, favoritism, returning to office, and even employee s. harassment but none were addressed publicly or even privately. Please stop saying previous TKers should have talked to their HRBP or raised these issues in the engagement survey because the truth is they did and upper management didn’t even bat an eye. Google: 'Mini-revolt' as TravelPerk U-turns on remote work “So far, the leadership team has received 100 requests (roughly 8% of 1,200 employees) for exceptions; of those requests, 75% have been approved, the spokesperson says. The company did not say what would happen if an employee refuses to return.” The proof is in the pudding ya’ll! Clearly they told the other 25% to kick rocks. Since this processless 8 year old company still functions like a 50 person startup, how TravelPerk handled this situation is exactly how they handle everything else: on a case by case basis. Unless you’re a yes man or have close connections to their ignorant and preposterous leadership team, YOUR VOICE WON’T MATTER HERE. I know it's rough out there on the job market streets but whatever you do, keep scrolling if you see a TravelPerk job post!

Pros

Great work-life balance clear path for promo and multiple career path options really good people Fun events always happening, the company cares about it's employees and wants everyone to collab and work as a team

Cons

with many tech companies there are constant changes and needing to adapt to those changes. The company is relatively young so there are growing pains that come with that

Pros

-Clear career growth path at Perk! The company is very transparent about the steps to become either an AE, AM, or IS after being an SDR. Perk is fast-growing and the opportunities are endless. They’re always adding new roles you can become after being in an entry-level role. -Product: One of the best products in the industry. Customers love talking about their business travel process, and it’s an easy product to be passionate about. My personal experience with our product is seamless and exactly how we market it. -Work-Life Balance: Extremely attainable. I have not once felt like I have to overwork myself or continue my work at home, which is a night and day difference from my previous job! -Hybrid-Work: 3 days in-real-life, and 2 days remote. Also 20 work-from-anywhere days as they encourage us to travel. Compensation: Extremely good. Base salary is at industry standard. Commission is uncapped and targets are very attainable to receive a 100%+ commission check. -Culture is unmatched! Extremely friendly sales team always looking to help and coach others in sales. Perk is very straightforward in how they envision their culture/environment. -Yearly company trip to Barcelona, Spain! And chances to travel and work out of other offices.

Cons

None that I can think of!

It is fantastic to see that you have enjoyed your experience working with us in Chicago! We are thrilled to hear that you are finding the SDR role so rewarding and that our career paths, product, and work-life balance are resonating with you. We are particularly pleased that you are embracing our in-real-life philosophy and hybrid model of working by taking advantage of the "work-from-anywhere" days. Our goal is to foster a culture where collaboration in the office and flexibility go hand-in-hand. It’s also great to know that the supportive coaching from your teammates is helping you reach your goals. Thank you for being such a passionate advocate for Perk. We look forward to seeing you grow with us for a long time to come!
