Great Workplace for Career Growth – Collaborative & Flexible Office Environment

Office manager - employee experience

Business Outlook

Pros

Great office space in the heart of Sydney, so close Wynyard Station. Fantastic benefits, with in-office lunches provided twice a week and comprehensive wellbeing programs. Competitive salary and exceptional support throughout the onboarding process creating a welcoming work environment.

Cons

The only downside has been limited benefits available with my fixed-term contract. Beyond that, I have not encountered any negatives, KAYAK is truly a great company to work for.

Business Outlook

Pros

Flexible work, homeoffice possibilities, catering offer, good package of vacation days, very great collegues to work with.

Cons

The company faces some common organizational challenges, including promotion process transparency, opportunities for greater women's empowerment, and occasional bottlenecks in career development. Importantly, these issues are not specific to this company, and it doesn't suffer from them disproportionately.
