Pros

The culture here is hard to beat. From day one, I have felt a strong connection with the team and many others at the SF office. As a whole, I feel valued and given a lot of responsibility from the start. I am given all the necessary tools to get the job done without any sort of micro-management. Even as a coordinator, I do get a lot of face-time with upper management and definitely feel that my work is being noticed and appreciated.

Cons

There are a lot of old processes and tools that were created by people no longer in the company and it can get a bit messy when learning and using said tools. Sometimes it is hard to get an answer as to why it is still being used or if/when it will be updated. Benefits could use some updating. The 401k plan is pretty bleak in comparison to many other companies in the bay area.

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.
