      Pros

      Beautiful office, free food/gym, and good salaries... As every other one said

      Cons

      As a long-time employee, I hate to give trip such a low rating. It used to be a great place to work, when the company is much smaller, and the office is less shinny. However, the culture has drastically changed. The management is terrible, making it such a stressful place to work. Creativity is not encouraged; process takes forever and gets blocked by endless design reviews; false urgency is created to push employee to work over time; blaming and micromanagement are what mid-managements do.

      Great Company, Great People, Starting to lack direction

      Pros

      The culture and people at TripAdvisor are amazing. Like nothing I have ever seen before in my life and will probably never see again in the future. Folks love to hang out together over a beer in the pub after work, or in the amazing cafe during lunch (free lunch). The work is generally challenging and rewarding as well.

      Cons

      Many product/engineering en-devours are only completed 75%-85% because the resources are strained which then creates problems for the end user and internal stakeholders. There also is not a clear path to the next level for ambitious individuals. When I leave, it will be because I don't see a path here and another company has a plan for me.

      Pros

      TripAdvisor has a generous benefits package with stipends and discounts on personal travel, gym allowances, stock, free meals and more. My current department is a great place to work with a strong leader who really focuses on building up his team.

      Cons

      The lock-step strictness of the promotion schedule (you can only be promoted in January of each year but then you dont get your raise until March) makes for alot of resentment and makes turnover a problem in some places. The company also feels a little unweildy with bureaucracy and chnages can be hard to make.

      Thanks for taking the time to write this review, and it's great to hear that you are enjoying your work, your colleagues and your manager. Regarding promotions, we recently changed the annual timing you describe--now, employees can be promoted throughout the year, based on performance, readiness and job scope. Your feedback was consistent with what we were hearing from employees, and restricting promotions to once a year just didn't make sense. As you might expect, the annual planning cycle tends to consolidate the timing for many promotions into Q1, but we are no longer limited to this strict annual schedule. Regards, Beth Grous Chief People Officer
