Pros

They pay their employees well

Cons

There is a lot of restructuring going on, which results in constantly looking over your shoulder for if your role is changing or being eliminated. Promotions are based on favoritism and there is a lack of growth opportunities. There are lots of half baked ideas and thoughts which leads to limbo when it comes to projects and restructuring.

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.
