      Pros

      TripAdvisor is growing aggressively and this means there are plenty of promotion and advancement opportunities for people who have ability and are willing to work for it. I've worked at places where there are at least three qualified people jockeying for each opportunity to advance - TripAdvisor is NOT one of them. As of 2013 TripAdvisor is an excellent place for those who want to break through from senior to principal engineer or into management. Overall the level of bureaucracy in engineering is still low and it's possible to get things done without waiting a long time for management to make opaque decisions behind closed doors.

      Cons

      The location in Newton is not convenient unless you happen to already live in one of the western suburbs. TripAdvisor does not do a lot of fundamental R&D on new technologies. Look elsewhere if that is a priority for you.

      Good company. Could easily be even better.

      Pros

      Great work/life balance. Fun culture. Nice facility. Pay was okay.

      Cons

      Location. The headquarters is in a suburb of Boston. Hard to get cabs, and not a lot to do in Newton, MA. Too many temps. They have 100+ temp employees who seem like a subculture in the company. Also, they are all hired through PSG who doesn't seem to treat them fairly. Salary is mediocre at best for anyone who is not in sales or an engineer. Facilities and Admin have a "good ole boy" mentality that is opposite of the rest of the company. The country music they play at reception seems out of place at a travel/tech company.

      Pros

      Flexible work schedule Innovative/ Smart coworkers Free lunch/ snacks / beverages Shuttle service from the T Travel benefits Fitness reimbursement On-site gym Good work/life balance

      Cons

      It would be easier to get to if the office was downtown or closer to the T, but the shuttle service helps with the commute.
