Pros
People here have a real passion for the growth and success of the company.
A fun, friendly start up atmosphere. Lots of perks.
A company that really care about the values they stand for.
Cons
Sometimes a little process driven and US centric but understandably so.
Thank you for your positive remarks. We’re constantly striving to maintain a transparent, collaborative environment, so we’re glad that you found that to be the case.

Approves of CEO
I have been working at Tripadvisor full-time for more than a year
Pros
I love talking to people about my job. When people ask me, “do you like working there” I can’t help but smile. While it’s a job and it is work, it’s a privilege to work here and I get to realize that again and again each time I talk to someone about Trip. Even just explaining what he culture and benefits are like here people are always blown away. Sometimes it feels like an embarrassment of riches as I explain it to people, they get more and more shocked as I rattle off the perks. Whether it’s the free lunch or the feeling of community across teams and levels, I find myself being just as impressed by my words as those I am speaking to.
If I had to pick, the biggest pros about working here are our philanthropic efforts and the normalcy of volunteering amongst the employees here and the transparency from management. Our global volunteer days we have each year during the summer highlight something that is present all year round at Tripadvisor: volunteering and giving back is not only encouraged here, it’s expected. I am humbled to be a part of a company who highly values giving back to the world that it aims to help us explore. The transparency is self-explanatory. We are seldom left in the dark and are quickly informed of any moving parts or changes in the company. It makes everyone feel important and essential to the team, an irreplaceable part of our culture.
Cons
Things move very quickly here and if that isn't your jive it can be a bit hard to keep up.
Thank you for your positive remarks. We’re constantly striving to maintain a transparent, collaborative environment, so we’re glad that you found that to be the case. We take pride in our employees, so hearing directly from employees about how their colleagues have supported and enriched their experience is always great news.

Negative Outlook
No Opinion of CEO
I have been working at Tripadvisor full-time for less than a year
Pros
The workplace culture (in the parts that I interact with, at least) is fantastic. Everyone seems genuinely excited to be there and working on what they are working on. Things move pretty quickly when it is a priority, and there is a strong desire among both the business units and the engineers for mobility and flexibility when addressing new issues.
Cons
Ultimately, the travel industry in general and Trip specifically are in for some rough times. Google's monopolistic practices, regardless of what you think of them, are here to stay, and there may be a limit to how well Trip can compensate performing employees, etc, with that on the horizon, even after the Covid-19 issues sort themselves out.
