Pros

* Lot's of opportunities for growth and a variety of career paths * Lots of agency. As a developer, you're free to experiment, drive change you want to see, and can dip your toes in a variety of things * Very flexible work schedule and location *. I've never felt like i've interacted with a toxic person since ive been here (2+ years)

Cons

* Pay is okay, but could use improvement. Seems to lag a bit behind other big tech companies

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.
