Does not meet expectations

Pros

Great benefits, pay okay, smart new office in Needham.

Cons

Don't be fooled by TripAdvisor, managers will make false promises regarding your career development. New employees who joined in the past 2 years are being paid far more than their colleagues who have been here longer. The best way to get a pay rise at TripAdvisor is to leave and then come back within 12 months and negotiate a higher salary and a sign-on bonus. Key executive roles take 12+ months to hire You get $10,000 if your referral is hired, but little bonus if you work hard Working from home is only allowed if you're friends with your boss

A New HQ and Perks Only Go So Far

Pros

Free lunch, snack walls, gym, beautiful new HQ and amazing coworkers. I enjoyed some of my time here and made some great connections, friends and resume content for my new career.

Cons

Low pay, no recognition for those that go above and beyond, high turnover and a company that tries to be better than Google and cater to engineers. Work/life balance is a joke and working from home is frowned upon in most instances. Manage micromanages and senior management is untouchable and out of touch with how their employees view their workplace. Told to write positive reviews for Glassdoor when it goes against their own review policy for the site. Their is very little opportunity for career growth and TA would rather hire externally than give their own employees a chance to grow.

Tough Place

Pros

Some great people but unfortunately, these folks are not empowered to make necessary changes. Great benefits but not worth the overall trade off.

Cons

Too many to list. If you work there, my advice is to treat it as a funded job search and be weary of HR. If you are thinking about working there, save yourself the experience.
