Be a good monkey work for trivago
Jun 2, 2014 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
- free beer, cereals, milk, coffee and other small stuff - team events where you see your managers get drunk - one trip once a year where the whole company gets drunk - average age 25
Cons
- all the above benefits mean less salary for people while trivago pays less taxes - very inexperience middle managers that treat people like monkey - no way to move up because of older employees and flat hierarchy

Fun work environment allowing for chill lifestyle, not for security-seeking types
Jan 16, 2015 -RecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
• Young international colleagues. You will meet lots of smart, funny people from around the world and have fun working. • Relaxed, casual working environment in a modern office building providing excellent views • Perks like cereal, free beer, access to sports events for recreation, team events (a pro if you like team events) • This is ideal if you want to gain one year of work experience after your studies in a casual atmosphere while partying a lot
Cons
• A sense that everyone is so young and new at the company that it feels like people are just passing through and employees are easily replaceable. Few experienced, long-term employees. • Little job security - most employees are on one year contracts and eager to prove themselves so that it can be extended if they wish to stay longer. • Limited opportunity for mentoring by experienced professionals in your field. • Company values felt a little artificial/overblown

Hey! Just wanted to update you on the new processes that are now in place thanks to your (and others) constructive feedback left on here. We believe in continually improving our product and our organization and see honest feedback as a great source of learning. At the time of this comment, we actually agreed with you on some points and so set about planning and implementing initiatives that would address some of these issues you raised, So here is our update ;) Due to the nature of our company, in the beginning we did hire a lot of interns as the skills we required were as new as the technology we were using and so it was very hard to find experienced people in certain fields. Due to this reason we hired a lot of interns who we decided we would train on the job. This internship culture also brought with it a high turnover rate. This could have been the reason for this "passing through" culture you mentioned or little job security feeling. Good news is that this internship approach is no longer a major part of our recruiting strategy and as of December 2015, only 3% of our talents had internship contracts. 87% of our talents are now on full contracts with a much broader range of experience levels :D Each year we have seen an increase in our retention rate and hope that this continues. I want to thank you for your honest feedback and want you to know that we will continue to work on these areas which you suggested could be improved. I know this response is over a year after your comment...but better late than never :D Hope you are doing well and enjoying life to the full in whichever part of the world you are now in! Hopefully somewhere sunnier than Düsseldorf ;) Cheers, Christine

Good ambiance, but far from being the best place to work at
Jun 5, 2014 - Anonymous EmployeeRecommendCEO ApprovalBusiness OutlookPros
The international team is one the main pros, as people from more than 60 nationalities work in the same place. There are a lot of events and opportunities to meet colleagues, so the mood in the office is good.
Cons
People in charge of some departments is not really taking care of their team and are not good at working together with other departments. Lot of people complain about things such as communication, bosses or events, but no one gives any idea to improve that or say anything when they have the chance (surveys, feedback meetings). Values are too ideallistic for the company (e.g. trust is the main value, but people dont feel safe to express a bad opinion about their bosses). Low salaries for a very big workload.

Thank you for sharing your feedback! We are really sorry you feel this way. I can see that you are a current employee and we of course do not want any of our talent to feel like that. I would really encourage you to voice your concerns i.e. hypocritical management to a trusted person within the company, your talent lead for instance. Also, do not hesitate to raise your concerns and suggestions on Office Vibe or through Slido during the trivago Fridays talk. We want to hear from you!
