Pros

-- Great name for your resume -- Interesting fringe benefits (travel stipend, as an example) -- Hired nice people

Cons

-- Extremely risk averse (specifically Cruise Critic) -- "Speed wins" mantra = shipping sloppy products 24/7 -- A crushing amount of tech debt -- Revenue-only focus, does not care about "tending the garden" for long-term sustainability -- Routinely make poor biz choices (Tripadvisor Plus, anyone?) that derail the org -- Leaders have no training and it shows -- Poor compensation (read below for more info) -- Abysmal financial support toward proper resource and tooling -- Diversity goals are a smoke screen -- Constantly focused on all of the wrong things -- There's no culture or belonging, even within the ERGs (this is a clock in, clock out company)

Pros

The pace and work/ life balance are very manageable and they are still pro remote work which is a huge benefit as a lot of companies push return to office. The benefits and salaries are great compared to the industry standards.

Cons

Lots of turmoil, changeover, layoffs and chaos caused by a recent re-org. ELT does not have vision or innovation outside of “AI” and it’s hard to feel confident about the long term success of the company. Lots of white men who lack creativity.
