      Pros

      Good pay and an interesting product to work on. Some great lower level employees and many very smart people to work with.

      Cons

      There are some middle managers who are extremely toxic and if you end up with one, beware. Micromanaging, lots of politics, and a lack of transparency. Lack of imagination and vision from leadership. Risk averse and slow to evolve. Upper management plays favorites. Some legitimately rude and even unkind people thrive in this tech org. Meeting-heavy culture.

      Pros

      * It's a great brand * Great partners * Decent product with strong distribution

      Cons

      * Management style was heavily top-down, with decision-making concentrated among a small group of senior leaders. * This was the same when they were all working at KAYAK under the same group * I observed what I felt was preferential treatment of certain employees (notably of a certain ethnicity - IYKYK), which negatively impacted perceptions of fairness and inclusivity within the organisation. * The workplace environment could be highly stressful, and concerns raised by employees were not always addressed effectively. * Staff wellbeing, retention, and morale appeared to be ongoing challenges during my time with the company.
