Tripadvisor Reviews

Pros

Team dynamic, B2B and B2C products, great energy, history of laser focus on the customer, agile, open to voice of the employee, walks the talk on social issues, balanced workforce, value of diversity is lived - not just stated on a poster, open to change, encouraging of new ideas, new approaches.

Cons

Not really any, just being in growth mode coming out of the impact of COVID on the travel industry, and can't hire fast enough!

Pros

Medical options with Aetna including a free plan; free life insurance; legal advice benefits plan which you can pay extra for; surrogate and adoption reimbursement to a certain amount; gym reimbursement plan every year with a one time smart watch reimbursement one year up to $600 USD; maternity leave; medical leave; 15 days of vacation increasing after 3 and 7 years if service; incentives for meeting key performance indicators every month; opportunities for promotions in the company; referral plan for new employees where you receive a bonus for the referral after a certain amount of time; 401K match program; company tries to be aware and make us aware of diversity and inclusion

Cons

Pay could be more competitive for what we do; legal advice is very limited in what is included; attendance points do not fall off until after a year on the same date

Pros

Made lots of friends, and working environment was great.

Cons

Massive layoffs due to poor financial planning.

Pros

Great benefits and work life balance. Room to be creative.

Cons

Over the course of 10 years I have seen several groups laid off.

Pros

- Lots of fascinating projects to be involved - Very strong vision and passion by leadership - Growth opportunities for people left behind after firing a quarter of the workforce last year - Financial responsibility (sometimes at extreme levels that might hurt long term) - Increased retention benefits (RSUs) - (discontinued) - Known and respected brand - Good tools & technologies available to workforce - Increasing investments in technology after many years of stagnation - Remote work & cohesion among global offices

Cons

- Micromanagement by executives - Lack of transparency in promotions, no independent committees, overall advancement is not tied to performance, but relationship building & persuasion, I often see promotions used as a last resort tactic to retain key employees - Lots of VP and Director hiring from outside with very short tenure and limited long term impact to the organization (who gets evaluated on these choices) ? - Large scale reorganizations every 6 months - Increased hiring abroad without focus on diversity, but cost savings - Significant cost savings from remote work/office closures not passed down to employees - Company's culture evolution has not been a focus - Aside from accelerated RSU vesting/retention incentives (now discontinued), there's no compensation for the Dramatic work/life balance changes caused after the large layoffs

Pros

The coworkers are great. Good Travel perks

Cons

Management is lazy Losing a lot of the perks Tripadvisor was an awesome company when I first started. The people are awesome, the job was cool, free lunch, beer, dogs in the office. On site Gym. Quotas were always big, hardly attainable. But the other perks made up for it. Once covid hit, travel was impacted more than most. Tripadvisor decided to cap the sales team's commission at 30 and 40%. This has been going on for 9 months now. On top of capping commissions at 1/3 of what they should be, they raised quota by 1200%(that's not a typo). The company breed's managers to sit back and do nothing while reaping all the benefits from the reps being overworked. It is nearly impossible to get a manager to actually help you when you need it. With everyone working from home, the cool perks are all gone. No more gym, lunch, after work drinks with coworkers, and they won't be coming back when we do return to the office. My peers are great. If it weren't for them I probable would have left sooner. This is (or was) a pretty good start for someone brand new to sales. This is not an ideal place for a seasoned AE.
