Tripadvisor reviews

Senior management has a negative and condescending attitude toward the vast majority of employees. Recognition and thanks are foreign concepts, which has resulted in incredibly low morale and a high turnover rate. There is zero potential for advancement or growth in any department, and employees have become used to the idea that keeping their heads down and doing what they're told is the only option. Creativity and innovation are non-existent.

With the exception of one or two folks, the executive team seems completely uninterested in what the "worker bees" on their teams are doing. I think in the time I was there the exec for my group spoke to me a total of 10 minutes and that was because I approached her. I never saw her walk around and check in with folks -- I recognize they are extremely busy, but how hard is it to take 15 minutes a few times a month to walk around their departments, talk to people and make them feel like having them there makes a difference? The company is not THAT big and if you are still selling yourself as a start-up then you should know the folks on your teams. If you want to be promoted WHO you know is far more important than WHAT you know. Being a SME in your field and working hard is great, but it probably won't get you promoted, it will just get you more work. I will still refer friends to certain departments or teams, but I would make sure they know the good, the bad and the ugly and let them decide for themselves whether or not they want to pursue a career at Trip.
