Great place to work

Pros

Great opportunities to learn new skills and move around the organization if you're motivated. Very good on work-life balance if you're on the right team.

Cons

Sr Management isn't decisive enough-- they let things like reorgs and responsibility changes fester for a long time before making them official-- long enough so that everyone knows something is coming, but doesn't know what.

Great perks! Intense Interview process

Pros

The office space at TripAdvisor is undeniably enticing - the food and snacks keep employees productive and happy, dogs are allowed into the office which is great for morale, and the gym and adjustable desks (standing or sitting!) help with the type of work that keeps you at the computer all day.

Cons

The amount of work can become overwhelming and repetitive, and it seems to take quite a while to move up in the company, if that is your goal. It's an incredibly quickly expanding startup, so this may have something to do with it. It's for the right type of person, and that's probably why the interviewing process was so extensive and long as well.

Pros

Neat benefits, awesome coworkers, good work-life balance. CEO is great and approachable, some levels of upper management are really good and easily accessible.

Cons

Could give back to the engineering community (open sourcing). Sometimes, feature development takes precedence as it helps revenue but at the cost of bad engineering. Have encountered that one bad apple too.

I’m pleased to read your positive remarks about our benefits and the management team at TripAdvisor and I appreciate your constructive feedback regarding the product and engineering teams . We continue to invest in the collaboration efforts between these teams to ensure that we’re delivering the highest quality products to our consumers. We certainly do not want anything to compromise the quality of our engineering and it’s something we keep a close eye on. Thank you for the suggestion regarding giving back to the engineering community. We have open sourced several different projects, but we are always looking for more ways to contribute. As always, I’m happy to further discuss any concerns and suggestions in person or via Skype. - Nick Shanny, SVP Engineering
