      Pros

      KAYAK really cares about its employees. Great benefits and vacation policy, lots of outings, weekly lunches and weekly beer hours all of which give us opportunity to know each other outside of work -- and that makes for better working relationships. Very approachable senior management (at least on the tech side, where I work) where nobody has an office. Great office and location in Cambridge. Laser focus on making data-driven decisions. All this attracts great people. Finally, we're working on lots of cool things and business is great! I am pretty far into my career and this is the best job I've had.

      Cons

      Lots of things going on so hard to get a sense of overall strategy.

      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'
