Vrbo Employee Reviews about "great benefits"

Pros

Results based, great working environment, lots of smart people and lots of fun people. Small teams focused on delivery. Great benefits and a world wide presence means travel opportunities. It's also just a fun industry we work in - much nicer to spend time writing software that helps people have vacations than something dry.

Cons

Fast growth with time to market pressure.

Pros

They really care about the staff. Great Benefits and Perks. Awesome group of people to work with. Great work locations.

Cons

The company has merged with Expedia so their are a lot of changes happening which can be a bit frustrating at times. However, Homeaway is adjusting to it well.

Pros

• Great medical and dental benefits. • New hire orientation is extremely helpful to understand benefits, perks, and the direction of the company. • Weekly table talks with the executives of the company. They let you know about any company updates and take questions employees have. (You also get free breakfast during the meeting) • IT department, technology, and equipment are up-to-date and incredibly helpful. • Lots of opportunity for professional growth. • Perks are cool, including 7 days a year to use a VRBO property through the BearStay Program or DeskAway where you can work in another office around the world. • Free healthy snacks (granola bars, oatmeal, goldfish, cereal, etc.) and drinks (coffee, water, soda, lacroix, pelligrino, etc.) • Great recognition programs • The culture is wonderful. People are friendly and willing to help.

Cons

• 401K match is only 1%

Pros

Benefits were great but not worth it.

Cons

Worst job I have ever had. Do not fall for their empty promises.

Pros

- Great wellness benefits and office perks - Management is considerate to employees and is responsive to feedback - Access to Expedia Group resources for refining your skillset - Coworkers are passionate about the clients they're working with - Accommodates individuals who have to balance family or personal responsibilities at home - Work at the D11 office in the Domain with easy access to shops and restaurants

Cons

No major cons I can think of.

Pros

A solid tech company with a good website that offers great benefits if they will actually hire you on full time. Company has a good reputation, may be ruined with the new changes they are making: I.E. online payments and charging a traveler service fee.

Cons

They hire on people through temp agencies cannot promise full time employment and benefits until potentially month 8. They are charging a traveler service fee and every customer seems to believe Homeaway will lose all of it's business. Customers are constantly upset with most of the changes they are making at Homeaway since being acquired by Expedia. You have to meet stringent metric goals, no vacation or time off from your cubicle is offered until month 8, and pay does not match up with demand. Do not work here unless you like being in limbo about your employment status. Management will do nothing to help you out depending on which manager you have. Treatment is different to employees depending on which manager you get. All your phone calls are listened to, management would rather nitpick your calls for minute details than fix larger issues within the customer service team. They claim to have a startup atmosphere, you will be working all the time and vacation seems to be non-existent.

Pros

-Travel prepandemic -Good health insurance -Great maternity/paternity benefits

Cons

-Lack of creative thinking -oil & water with Expedia -inefficiencies -lack of heart -lots of layoffs

Pros

There are some great, bright people. Great benefits and perks. Forward thinking C team.

Cons

Upper level management is stale/stagnant. A marketing director was hired while I was there that didn't even know what SEO was. A lot of the management has been there a long time drawing a big paycheck but are completely apathetic about their jobs. HA feels very much like a boys club as well. The passion is gone. All the passionate people have left to go back to the start up world. This happens when companies grow larger, but HA is doing nothing to prevent the hemorrhage of people. The culture is shifting more to a Dell like atmosphere. Several Dell exec hires were made just before I left.
