Pros

Travel stipend Free lunch M-F Commuter Stipen Coffee bar (HQ) Great people

Cons

Pressure clearly comes from the top. People are not fully themselves at TripActions. It’s all about “how good do I look” rather than integrity, honesty, grit, work ethic. New ideas are not welcomed by upper management. Really do your due diligence when looking at TripActions. Ignore employee tenure (think company stock for early employees) and c-level team experience. This company is built on “trust & transparency” yet they aren’t honest about how comp structure works in recruiting. It is based on the performance of the CSM team. Which creates unnecessary tension. The way I was told I’d get promoted is if I “shout out people in Slack”. The sales org is so confusing. Other departments I’d say things seem pretty great. Revenue team is misleading, the execs don’t care about the IC’s, and they are closed minded. The CRO preaches buzz words with no emotion behind it. It seems to be scripted to “try to sound real”. If the comp plan is not explained to you in the interview.... that should tell you more than anything. It’s hard to know who to trust there. I’ve felt that way since day 1. Need to be careful

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
