Pros

Full Medical and dental, free lunch, 'summer Fridays'

Cons

Palpable stress caused by upper management not knowing product, not listening to their direct reports, sending 'flame mails' to a wide audience of people, making sexist and unprofessional remarks and being mostly uninvolved in everything except budget talks. Zero career development. You're just a 'head,' you're not a person.

I want to immediately apologize for any sexist or unprofessional remarks that you may have experienced while working here. TripAdvisor does not tolerate these type of remarks, and I ask that you share your specific concerns with your HR Business Partner or me as soon as possible, so that we may appropriately address them. We pride ourselves on having the world’s largest travel site and community, and for being a fast-moving, product driven company. We have programs in place to provide visibility to product development, but there is always room for improvement. We appreciate your feedback, as we are always open to suggestions on how to improve product communication, and would welcome the opportunity to hear from you directly. Thanks for remaining a dedicated employee to TripAdvisor over the past 3 years, even with the changes on your team. We truly value your contributions to the incredible growth we’ve experienced as an organization. We are a different company than we were 3 years ago, but we believe we’re a better company, and we’re excited to tackle the opportunities and challenges ahead. Beth Grous Chief People Officer

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.
