Pros

- The company was better to work for when part of Expedia but there are few pros now. - If you like travel, it's a fun industry. - TripAdvisor tries really hard to recruit students and puts their best food forward for the summer interns with fun events and outings. It's a facade and it's not like that for the full time employees.

Cons

- Two thumbs down for senior management who runs the business in an unethical and abrasive manner - In reality, everyone, from junior to middle to senior management, is simply a puppet of the CEO - No focus on career development - Junior staff is cocky and is starting to mirror senior management's style of yelling and degrading others. These are kids who are 0-2 years out of school - Location. Newton?

Pros

I think there are a few really great things about TripAdvisor: * product people love * the great office space * food, snacks, fun events * kegerator

Cons

There were a lot of reasons why I left. They included: * terrible middle-management layer (and in general, way too many layers in a company that small) * lots of opinions that muddle product development, nobody given proper responsibility for a product * some good process, but a lot of "one person made this mistake, so let's introduce this step to prevent it ever happening again" type of things * weird, "controlling" attitude. e.g. there is a foosball table, but people get in trouble for using it * lack of recognition for good work * micromanaging, and lots of it

Pros

Nothing left to talk good. Join company for depression and disappointment.

Cons

No clear plan for the future. Employees either US citizens or visa holders don’t know what's next.
