Pros

Great benefits. Good pay. Travel was a fun place to work before COVID.

Cons

Stuck in the past. Obsessed with optimization and minor tweaking of the experience rather than true innovation. Pretend to focus on the customer but really operate based on the whims of the C suite - who are intense micromanagers. They then expect other 'leaders' to be micromanagers. So really there is no vision and leadership. Just a ton of tactical swinging from one thing to the next and everyone playing with data to try to justify their actions/opinions.

Thank you for your feedback. We appreciate that you highlighted our culture and the strength of our people, for it really is our employees that make Tripadvisor a great place to work. However, it is unfortunate that you feel like management communication and alignment on vision are not as clear as they should be. As a company founded on the principle of transparency, we work hard to ensure internal strategies are communicated and the voices of our employees are heard. As our company continues to evolve, we are appreciative of employee comments that highlight our strengths as well as areas we can improve upon. We value our people and their feedback and look to learn and grow from it.

Growing pains - bad behaviors emerge

Anonymous employee

Business Outlook

Pros

CEO, Steve, is a really good guy and sets a tone of decency and hard work. New building and lunch, gym etc all help with convenience of a work day. Work (finance) is very interesting and challenging.

Cons

With some of the recent growth challenges the worst of politics at VP levels is emerging. Management is in severe CYA mode. Bad attitudes of "me me me", lack of respect and direction is prevalent. Start-up mentality of focus on the job at hand is fast asleep.

Thank you for your review although this type of feedback is always tough to read. We have worked hard to build a culture of strong teamwork, and collaboration that aligns with our “better together” philosophy. As your experience seems to reflect otherwise, I would like to hear more about it. I encourage you to connect with your HRBP or me directly so that we can talk through your concerns. Thanks again for your comments. Ernst Teunissen, CFO
