Pros

Depending on your manager, you could have a great level of flexibility and even career opportunities. They offer perks such as free therapy and private health insurance or gym subscription. Their company parties are great!

Cons

Very inconsistent company. Depending on which department you are at and most importantly who your manager is, you will be up for either great success or great failure. This is why Travelperk has SDRs becoming Chief Of Staff without any prior experience or qualifications, there’s a lot of favouritism and nepotism going on. Extremely extrovert biased leadership. They are constantly changing the org structure which leaves people falling between cracks in performance and salary reviews time after time. There’s a big lack of transparency, they withdraw benefits without letting their employees know and they purposely leave out that certain policies are changing (such as WFH) in the recruitment process. Due to this, the day to day is chaotic, the communication within and between teams is very challenging as there is a very individualistic way of work being promoted by the managers which are constantly either overworked and therefore not present, or too busy creating their own brand for C-level.

We understand that change can be hard for our team, so we communicate openly with our whole team as much as possible and maintain multiple channels to ensure that our team feels heard at all times. Thank you again for your feedback.

Pros

Great work-life balance clear path for promo and multiple career path options really good people Fun events always happening, the company cares about it's employees and wants everyone to collab and work as a team

Cons

with many tech companies there are constant changes and needing to adapt to those changes. The company is relatively young so there are growing pains that come with that

Pros

-Clear career growth path at Perk! The company is very transparent about the steps to become either an AE, AM, or IS after being an SDR. Perk is fast-growing and the opportunities are endless. They’re always adding new roles you can become after being in an entry-level role. -Product: One of the best products in the industry. Customers love talking about their business travel process, and it’s an easy product to be passionate about. My personal experience with our product is seamless and exactly how we market it. -Work-Life Balance: Extremely attainable. I have not once felt like I have to overwork myself or continue my work at home, which is a night and day difference from my previous job! -Hybrid-Work: 3 days in-real-life, and 2 days remote. Also 20 work-from-anywhere days as they encourage us to travel. Compensation: Extremely good. Base salary is at industry standard. Commission is uncapped and targets are very attainable to receive a 100%+ commission check. -Culture is unmatched! Extremely friendly sales team always looking to help and coach others in sales. Perk is very straightforward in how they envision their culture/environment. -Yearly company trip to Barcelona, Spain! And chances to travel and work out of other offices.

Cons

None that I can think of!
