Never ending changes to the compensation plan

Pros

- Great company atmosphere - Great people

Cons

- This company changed the compensation plan for the sales team every month even though they operate on a quarterly basis - They do not know how to motivate salespeople - Be prepared for constant changes to how are you are paid. If they think you are being paid too much they dial back your earnings. If they think you are getting paid too little, they wait until people start heading out the door to make changes - This is a company with an engineer at the helm who does not appreciate the hard work of salespeople

Thank you for your comments, although it’s very disappointing to read about your negative experience here. Culture is important at TripAdvisor and is one of our most important challenges as we continue to grow. We recently launched a “purpose and values” project to help us better define our culture. As with many fast growing companies, we are often challenged with finding the balance between pushing ourselves to quickly deliver the best products to our consumers and ensuring a good work-life balance for employees. We continue to work towards finding the best ratio. Thank you again for your comments and best of luck with your new opportunity. -Adam Medros, SVP Product

Pros

Smart engineers, challenging problems and great benefits.

Cons

Upper management is a disaster and has been for years. The company changes course every six months and every new idea is presented as THE IDEA that will fix everything, though often it's something only a few people at the top think is worth doing and everyone on the ground knows will fail. There are highs and lows but the company has been trending downward the last year or two. It's a shame because at its core TripAdvisor is a really great product and something that users love. Unfortunately the company has spent far more time and money on failed marketing campaigns and redesigns than it has in on improving its infrastructure in a way that actually benefits users.
