Pros

Work/Life Balance, Good perks, Exciting Projects, Travel deals, Bellevue is a great place. Easier to move to offices world wide. There is lot of empahsis on make it a better travel serach and buy experience. Lot of team partys and events. People are really helpful and easy going. Some engineers and managers are really smart.

Cons

No transparency from senior managment, recently lot of attrition, good and really smart people left the company. Lot of smart and capable people got laid off recently which makes me think about the furture strategy of the company. Hard walled offices are replaced by cubicles in new building

Pros

Constant state of transformation is ripe environment for new hires and functional experts from big name tech companies

Cons

Pre-covid the culture was really special. Collaborative, engaging, people-centric, with a unifying mission to enable travel for the world. Since covid there has been a revolving door of executive leadership, and with each round, they throw out the current strategy to try something "new" without building from the current or past successes. Constant change, but no clear vision or strategy of what they are trying to change to. Lack of strategy and low risk tolerance leads to too many priorities with not enough investment to move the needle in anything. Quarterly layoffs, but executed quietly team by team so as not to make news. No psychological safety. Talent strategy since covid is to hire externally over internal promotions to gain "functional expertise" therefore difficult to grow your career. Siloed divisions not working towards common goal. Lacks operating model maturity needed for a company of this size likely do to revolving door of execs and priorities. A cash cow company with an identity crisis trying to be an AI innovator. Build vs buy mentality slows them down. Too many exec pet projects that aren't vetted with proper business cases.
