Pros

You will meet some very good people who mean well, have your best personal & career interest at heart, & build partnerships that may outlast your employment.

Cons

To the points above: Those people will not be found in the upper ranks. Most of them will listen, but no action will be taken by them. Some of them are even blatantly rude to you when you're simply seeking information or assistance. Teams are always in disarray, goals shift in a way that's dangerous for business, & more often than not they will toss a PIP at you before coaching you 1st - very aggressively at that. Onboarding was the best part about this place & that's only because they sent new hires to HQ in Barcelona, but for budgeting reasons they eliminated that. While that is a perk & NOT a necessity, for a company that supposedly has a lot of money, they've shown that they cannot manage it well. Underrepresented employees across the spectrum have expressed many a concern for management & peer behaviors. Unfortunately the sentiment of "finding things to complain about" (once stated on LinkedIn by their CEO) is shared & practiced by many up top. Managers have even been overheard sharing private information about other direct reports, and unethical statements about women & the LGBTQIA+ amongst themselves. Lastly, many issues of general harassment, sexual harassment, & misconduct are swept under the rug to the point where people have left without ever trying to raise the issue. Leadership does not prioritize eliminating these issues when told about them, & you will not hear feedback about where they are on a case. People have been victimized, & left demeaned & defeated.

We appreciate your sharing your feedback, and it’s always encouraging to read that you have met people whom you have built strong relationships with. As you know, at TK, one of our Values is ‘Be a good person’; we strive to recruit, promote, and recognise colleagues for this. Your experience seems to have some very specific topics that are difficult to comment on without the details. We are open if you would like to reach out and discuss your experiences in more detail, so we can better understand them. It’s important to add that all cases of discrimination raised to the People team are thoroughly investigated and handled appropriately. You have commented on the lack of feedback on such cases; I’m sure you can understand that any cases, whether conduct or performance, are private and confidential, and out of respect and privacy to everyone involved, case updates cannot and will not be provided. We always address cases in line with our policies, and when the investigation confirms the facts, the company has managed these accordingly It appears from your feedback that you are no longer working with TK, and therefore we wish you the best for the future.

Pros

Great work-life balance clear path for promo and multiple career path options really good people Fun events always happening, the company cares about it's employees and wants everyone to collab and work as a team

Cons

with many tech companies there are constant changes and needing to adapt to those changes. The company is relatively young so there are growing pains that come with that

Pros

-Clear career growth path at Perk! The company is very transparent about the steps to become either an AE, AM, or IS after being an SDR. Perk is fast-growing and the opportunities are endless. They’re always adding new roles you can become after being in an entry-level role. -Product: One of the best products in the industry. Customers love talking about their business travel process, and it’s an easy product to be passionate about. My personal experience with our product is seamless and exactly how we market it. -Work-Life Balance: Extremely attainable. I have not once felt like I have to overwork myself or continue my work at home, which is a night and day difference from my previous job! -Hybrid-Work: 3 days in-real-life, and 2 days remote. Also 20 work-from-anywhere days as they encourage us to travel. Compensation: Extremely good. Base salary is at industry standard. Commission is uncapped and targets are very attainable to receive a 100%+ commission check. -Culture is unmatched! Extremely friendly sales team always looking to help and coach others in sales. Perk is very straightforward in how they envision their culture/environment. -Yearly company trip to Barcelona, Spain! And chances to travel and work out of other offices.

Cons

None that I can think of!

Our goal is to foster a culture where collaboration in the office and flexibility go hand-in-hand.
