TravelPerk – Why Work With Us?


We make business travelers happy one trip at a time

Corporate travel is known for outdated tools and terrible customer service. So, business travelers use sites built for vacationers, making policies impossible to enforce and spreading travel data all over the place. We’ve created a consumer-grade travel booking experience that’s built for businesses.

Business travel should be smart, connected, and freeing

With TravelPerk, every business is better connected and totally free to travel exactly how their travelers want, no micromanagement.

Our mission is to make business travelers happy. Not just because that will save your company money and free up administrative time, but because your business travelers really deserve it.

How it all began

In 2015, after one of our co-founders sold a previous startup to Booking.com, we found ourselves working at the behemoths of consumer travel, and we saw first hand that business travel was stuck decades behind in terms of technology and service. We decided to fix it.



Help us fix business travel

TravelPerk is on a mission to change a massive market and fix one of the world’s biggest unsolved problems. Our team is plucked from the best of the best in the travel and SaaS industries, and from over 30 different countries. Want to help us make business travel better?

Join a team of good and talented people from 20+ countries who have come together in Barcelona to reinvent the concept of business travel and how it’s done.

    I have been working at TravelPerk full-time (More than 3 years)

    Pros

    Travelperk is unique place to work in. As an engineer you are constantly pushed to grow yourself, and step out your professional comfort zone. As the carrer path is clear, team's engineering/social culture is amazing, and the challenge is never stopping - it seems that management have a good idea how to do it well.

    Something must be done right if the majority of the engineers who joined more than 3 years ago are still working in the company.

    Cons

    Really can't think of any.

    Strategic Account Manager Interview

    Anonymous Interview Candidate in London, England
    No Offer
    Negative Experience
    Easy Interview

    Application

    I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at TravelPerk (London, England) in March 2019.

    Interview

    Initial communication was concise but then when it came to the phone interview itself it seemed like the recruiter was rushed and had an opinion of my experience, almost judging.
    The company came across extremely arrogant in that it was made clear several times that "we are looking for the right person" almost assuming Travel Perk was the only company I had been interviewing for!
    When asked about the company culture the recruiter couldn't stop singing the company's praises, which I found ironic given I had received email confirmation of this interview on a Sunday, and the recruiter was calling we whilst on holiday, hardly sounds like Work-Life balance to me...

    Alas, I know I wasn't successful, not because I was told, but because Travel Perk went quiet. Interesting way to conduct oneself there...
