Pros

The people are by far the best - most are truly exceptional, high achieving team members. There is a strong culture around rooting out entitlement which proved challenging through scale, but is largely in place. There is a dedicated Community team who drive great experiences for staff, including amazing Summer and Winter parties.

Cons

Hypergrowth + ultra fast-paced working + extremely high expectations = not the right environment for everyone. More has been done to equip the business with the tools to manage this, but for a long time this just led to employee burnout which is still rife. Most people can only put up with it for so long before it becomes too much. A strong 3 day a week office mandate, which is not suitable for many people. No annual bonus available on most roles which is atypical, SOPs usually available but you have to buy them at end of tenure or lose out - which is unrealistic unless you're in a very senior role.

Thanks for sharing your positive experience. We are thrilled to hear that you appreciated the culture at TravelPerk. The sense of ownership and empowerment you mentioned is indeed invaluable to us! It's wonderful to see that you enjoyed the environment and our get-togethers. These moments truly shape our culture and positively impact everyone involved. Regarding ambitious expectations, we believe in reaching for the stars and supporting each other along the way. This is all part of our journey to reimagine business travel together. We're proud not only to offer our stock options to all TravelPerk employees but also to invest significantly in breaking down the complex topic of equity for employees so that they can make the most informed decisions which are right for their personal circumstances. Like many companies, we do allow leavers a fixed period to exercise their vested options. Thank you again for your review 💙

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!

It is fantastic to see that you have enjoyed your experience working with us in Chicago! We are thrilled to hear that you are finding the SDR role so rewarding and that our career paths, product, and work-life balance are resonating with you. We are particularly pleased that you are embracing our in-real-life philosophy and hybrid model of working by taking advantage of the "work-from-anywhere" days. Our goal is to foster a culture where collaboration in the office and flexibility go hand-in-hand. It’s also great to know that the supportive coaching from your teammates is helping you reach your goals. Thank you for being such a passionate advocate for Perk. We look forward to seeing you grow with us for a long time to come!
