Good company with no direction

Software engineer

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Everyone here at FlipKey is fun to work with. I work on the engineering team and everyone gets along. Younger engineers are guided by the senior engineers. Everyone is knowledgable and willing to help. The benefits we get from being part of TripAdvisor are solid. Great office culture.

Cons

Salaries are average and not tied to performance. There is no recognition when someone goes above and beyond. There is 0 direction from management. The avenue for career advancement is narrow if it exists at all. Lately we just follow our competitors with no focus on innovation.

Ruthless Corporate America

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Compensation is good and the stock is on a tear. Good place to work if money is the motivation.

Cons

Work is not really interesting. You will work on a lot of one week tweak projects. Competitive culture. But also a culture of fear codified by a speed wins mantra. Management is cold and ruthless. Classic corporate America. The company will do well because of its ruthless attitude.
