First of all I would like to thank you for taking the time to formulate this review and share your opinion with us. We are committed to create a comfortable, transparent and collaborative environment for all our employees around the world, so I am sorry to hear about some of your experiences and that these did not match our intention of being „a great place to work". We value and consider every feedback and we will continue to find ways to improve. We have grown immensely, but never thoughtless, over the last 3 years. From 6 people working from a shared office space in Berlin to 172 people from 36 different nationalities, sitting in our offices spread all over the world we have all worked very hard to create a fun, dynamic and caring company where people are valued and feel empowered to succeed and grow. It worked very well for our locations in Europe so far, so we are definitely willing to implement and achieve that in the States: an awesome working atmosphere, a fast growing company in which you can take the helm and realize your ideas, inspiring mates from all over the world and the possibility for further personal and also professional development. Throughout all our locations, whether it’s in our headquarter in Berlin, our office in Lyon, the upcoming offices in London and Spain or our tech reinforcement sitting in our office in Belgrade, we are continuously looking for ways to enhance employee benefits among other improvements we would like to make as well in order to successfully keep sailing on these waters. We genuinely care about our company and our great teams, so having all that said, I, again, would like to thank you very much for your feedback, it helps us make the HolidayPirates Group an even better place, then it already is. And we furthermore would like to also thank you, for being one of the first pirates aboard while entering the US market and having the opportunity to share this very cool office with Kayak. All the best for you and your future career, Janina and the HolidayPirates

Thanks for sharing your feedback and for being part of the team for 3 years! We're glad the flexibility and remote working options have been a highlight for you. The concerns you raise around career progression and product scope will help us improve our processes. We do want growth opportunities to be clear and meaningful. In the meantime, we encourage you to raise this directly with your manager or HR so we can look into your case properly.
