Pros

GREAT food Smart, talented people to work with Good compensation Very profitable, popular brand Looks good on your resume

Cons

Politics Turf battles between departments Discourages innovation, runs like a factory Blame-game culture, caste system Executives have big egos, total job security, huge bonuses - regardless of ability Little respect for levels below VP - regular accusations of incompetence. Senior tech people seem to get fired regularly Few opportunities for growth or promotion HR is impotent As a place to work, TripAdvisor has lost its appeal, especially since the split from Expedia.

Rotting from the Core

Pros

- Free food/snacks/drinks - Good pay - Solid company performance - For now, still a good name to have on the resume (good time to get out and look!)

Cons

- The environment is getting more TOXIC and OPPRESSIVE by the day - Incompetent second level mgt running the company into the ground – worst leadership I’ve seen in my entire career - Hyper-critical and focused on unnecessary details instead of big picture issues - Fear-based management style - All decisions, big and small, are based on consensus – take forever to finalize and are usually make watered-down ineffective changes - Being a jerk is encouraged and accepted behavior. - Unfriendly, unprofessional and rude - starts at the top, and has trickled down to all levels. - What the company seems to be from the outside and what they say in the interview process is opposite of what it actually is: there are tail-chasing inefficiencies everywhere you look, unrealistic goals with robot-like expectations and short-sighted innovation. - Most employees have become complacent and passion-less. Personality, smiles or laughter is practically non-existent. This is an unhappy place to work.
