Pros

- Intelligent, fun-loving people, many of whom have been here for years and obviously feel passionate about the product - Flat org - senior management is very accessible and people take on things as needed, regardless of level - Recognition when you do good work with timely feedback on how to continue improving - Great work-life balance - Brand new office in Cambridge with views of the Charles River, outside terraces to be enjoyed in warmer weather - commute is easy - weekly social gatherings and quarterly outings (e.g. ski trip in March) - The color orange

Cons

- Teams in different offices means you have to work harder at staying in sync, but manageable - Chaotic sometimes, but that's part of the fun. Not for those that prefer everything to go 'just so'

Pros

I had a great time interning with KAYAK over the summer. They treat their interns very well and it was a great opportunity to learn and develop new skills. The teams are quite small, and you work very closely with another employee, so there is plenty of opportunity to find a mentor. As a company, there was a lot of openness through the different teams and rungs of management, and everyone regardless of position was very approachable and friendly. The workplace environment is great - everybody works reasonable hours, tons of perks, etc.

Cons

None - it was a great experience

Pros

Great place to work. Definite room to grow within the company, fun work culture, good work/life balance, beer:30.

Cons

A lot of core engineers have been leaving the company because their previous stock options have vested.
