Pros

Beautiful offices, 4 weeks of vacation and 3 floating holidays, opportunities for growth. The people you're working with are world-class and excited to be here. Plus, you're working on a vacation rental website. You'll get ideas for your next getaway while you're updating the site! It's also important to work for a growing company whose product is far more valuable than the price charged for it. This is one of the reasons for our continued success, and the success of the customers who list on our sites. Finally, we have lots of celebrations and opportunities for recognition (and accountability). Quarterly goals are supported by the teams you work with and they throw a wicked holiday party. The Spring Picnic is a chance to bring your family out for a fun day of petting zoos, great food and games. There are also several team-specific events like rooftop BBQs and afternoon trips to the movies that go on from time to time. You'll love it at HomeAway!

Cons

There are times where a project can get a little out of control because something changes with the business. It's important to stay flexible!

Pros

HomeAway technology stack has come a long way. One of the most appealing things about working here is the fact that you get to work with cutting edge technology. In addition, the engineering team are super smart, so working here is a great networking opportunity too.

Cons

Company is getting pretty big, and if you end up on the wrong team, you may find it that it is difficult for you to be impactful.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a thoughtful review. We love a good tech stack as much as the next tech company and it’s great to hear you enjoy working on ours. Our Data Science and Engineering teams are so important to the success of HomeAway. You’re right though, we are growing rapidly. If someone finds themselves on a team that doesn’t quite feel right, we highly encourage internal movement and having a conversation with your manager.
