Pros

The perks, even for those of us who were not in HQ: fully covered employee insurance, annual vacation stipend, 401K matching, health and wellness stipend, extended holiday calendar, to name a few.

Cons

- The perks, which are/were a replacement to giving you a salary representative of similar roles/fair market. - Bloated middle management. - Red tape to fixing broken processes/inefficiencies. - Even after being revamped, the review process made it impossible to do well. - Also RE: the review process, being told that "No one ever gets 100%" on their reviews is unconscionable! - Favoritism amongst management. - Despite having a peer recognition program, management selectively (not surprisingly) gives out these accolades, to those who do not deserve it. - Speed does not win: iteration is great for engineering, but not across the board. Steve does not even follow this himself when every new hire has to cross his desk.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your review--although I’m disappointed to read that several aspects of your employment here did not meet your expectations. You specifically mention frustrations with our talent review and recognition processes. Although it may have been your individual experience, the feedback of "no one gets 100%" on their review is not a company policy or practice. However, we did get employee feedback that the review process overall was an opportunity area for us, and made several changes to it over the past year that will improve the quality of feedback, and our ability to recognize and reward great performers. I appreciate you recognizing the great team of co-workers that you had at TripAdvisor. It’s the smart and collaborative people who truly make TripAdvisor a wonderful place to work. I wish we had gotten the chance to speak in person about your other frustrations. As a company that truly values transparency, we encourage employee feedback. As you noted, we respond to many of our Glassdoor reviews. We do so not to refute any employee claims, but to ensure that employees know that their feedback is heard, discussed and acted upon. We take any and all feedback very seriously and use it to move the company forward. I'd welcome the opportunity to speak with you directly about your specific situation and feedback, even though you are no longer an employee; just send me an email and I am happy to arrange a call. We wish you the best of luck in your next opportunity. Beth Grous Chief People Officer

Terrible place to work

Pros

- As a manager I had decent pay - Big company so it is a recognizable name on your resume

Cons

- Upper management ALWAYS had a hidden agenda and were dishonest, they would have company All Hands but would never actually address issues. It was more of just a ploy to make it seem like a positive place to work - Changed commission structure constantly without communicating it to me first, then would make an announcement to reps that would negatively effect them. I would have to do damage control and they would be unresponsive about it and not address it again at all. Multiple times I was told by the sales director "This change is final, they just need to deal with it" - Any time they made a change they never gave a clear reason as to why they made a change, which in return made everyone much more skeptical - It was very clear they didn't want to pay reps for over achieving - No career growth path at all

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us, we appreciate both positive and constructive comments from our alumni. It is concerning to hear your comments regarding management, because as a member of management you were part of a team that practiced open and honest communication, and as you know, transparency is one of our core values. This applies to all aspects of the work we do, and we provide avenues for all employees to share their concerns. We wish you the best in your new endeavor.
