Pros

Good benefit, good work-life balance.

Cons

Your life in TripAdvisor will totally depend on your manager. Some of them don't have enough experience or competence and people under them are feeling uncomfortable. Due to the situation like this, more and more people are leaving. The way they dismiss employee is sometimes too drastic. Recommend people to make sure that you will have a right manager before you join.

Thank you for your feedback. You are absolutely right—having an effective manager is an important part of the work experience in any organization, including here at TripAdvisor. Developing leaders is a high priority for us, and our training and development curriculum reflects this. However, we do recognize that there is still room for improvement, and we are working to further develop leadership capabilities across the organization. Beth Grous Chief People Officer

Pros

+ The new needham headquarters has some truly stellar amenities. Lunch 5 days a week, game room, full gym with locker rooms, etc. + There are some really amazing people that work there and I miss them dearly. + This is a great first job out of college, a tremendous learning experience.

Cons

- Product is always right and seems to have little sympathy for the engineers they work with. It is very easy for a Product Manager to insist that something be done over the weekend when they aren't the ones that have to do the actually engineering work. Not all product managers are at the same caliber either with makes the work even more frustrating. - There is too much politicking. People have become territorial instead of cooperative which makes every day a slog. - Engineering has very little input into the product roadmap which eventually forces some of the best engineers to seek new employment at smaller companies.

Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you were able to enjoy the new headquarters and positive learning experience here. Engineering is critical to our success and we take your concerns and the concerns of others leaving TripAdvisor very seriously. It’s disappointing to hear of the collaboration struggles and imbalances within teams because collaboration between product and engineering is crucial to delivering high quality products. We continue to invest in making sure that engineering and product teams work effectively together to build products that we’re proud of and deliver great experiences to our users. We appreciate you making us more aware of the challenges you experienced and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Nick Shanny SVP Engineering and Operations
