    Pros

    The company is growing quickly and the business/branding changes are smart and exciting to see and be a part of. The culture is great and overall morale is high despite the large acquisition by Expedia. Fantastic benefits and perks.

    Cons

    They have 5 different locations in Austin because they're growing so quickly. While this is a positive thing, it's causing a lot of teams to have to relocate from North Austin to downtown, or to South Austin which is frustrating (traffic issues) and disruptive. They are working on a larger, long-term fix, but until then it's a bit hectic.
