Pros

Nice environment and nice people. At the time I was there all of the management was accessible. Compensation was fair and they were continuing to grow.

Cons

It didn't seem like there was much of an opportunity for upward mobility because of the size of the company. They may have already addressed this but there also didn't seem to be a clear direction on marketing and account management.

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.
