Pros

The company is really a fun place to work and embraces a great work life balance. They actually pay you extra when you are booking vacation travel! Vacation policy and travel benefits are generous. Pay is average or slightly above. Flexibility for "working your way" is provided whether it be flexible work schedules or bringing your own device. I have made many close friendships here and it seems like the best people tend to stay which also keeps me here. Great location for the HQ in Bellevue WA tons of great places to gather and eat and Seattle is only 20 minutes across the lake. Best place I have ever worked.

Cons

I honestly look forward to coming in each day and I can't think of anything meaningful to note as a dissatisfaction. I really wish that we had a gym in the building but there are two that are within a block so it's tough for me to fault them for that. They put in a health clinic instead of a gym which is nice but I guess I would have preferred a gym. You also need to pay for parking in the building and it isn't cheap BUT they do offer free travel benefits to encourage employees to use public transportation which is nice.

Pros

Constant state of transformation is ripe environment for new hires and functional experts from big name tech companies

Cons

Pre-covid the culture was really special. Collaborative, engaging, people-centric, with a unifying mission to enable travel for the world. Since covid there has been a revolving door of executive leadership, and with each round, they throw out the current strategy to try something "new" without building from the current or past successes. Constant change, but no clear vision or strategy of what they are trying to change to. Lack of strategy and low risk tolerance leads to too many priorities with not enough investment to move the needle in anything. Quarterly layoffs, but executed quietly team by team so as not to make news. No psychological safety. Talent strategy since covid is to hire externally over internal promotions to gain "functional expertise" therefore difficult to grow your career. Siloed divisions not working towards common goal. Lacks operating model maturity needed for a company of this size likely do to revolving door of execs and priorities. A cash cow company with an identity crisis trying to be an AI innovator. Build vs buy mentality slows them down. Too many exec pet projects that aren't vetted with proper business cases.
