Pros

Once upon a time, there were very talented people working at TripActions and decent benefits. The benefits are no longer and the good people left are holding onto the paycheck until they find another opportunity or are laid off.

Cons

It is extremely disappointing to see leadership at TripActions lack all humanity. Everything stated in these reviews is true. In the last year, there were multiple reported instances of harassment that were covered up. The CEO bragged about having hundreds of millions of dollars in cash only to lay off more than 30% of his staff on a zoom call (with no severance or healthcare). The company runs on a culture of fear with a constant revolving door of hiring and firing without acknowledgment or explanation. No one asks questions or disagrees with execs for fear of retribution. There is no transparency, no trust and no psychological safety.

Pros

Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

Cons

The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
