Great work/life balance but lack of vision

Anonymous employee

Pros

The benefits are pretty great (other than the choice of the insurance provider and cost for families) - amazing free lunch daily, gym, bar, stick options, fitness reimbursements, education assistance etc. Great attitude towards work-life balance, training and development.

Cons

Company vision doesn't always trickle down into individual teams. Rarely willing to take the risk, highly dependent on data to support decision making, however analytical resources not readily available. The company continues to follow the start-up approach which no longer translates to the company of its size. Projects often lose traction in multiple management layers, resulting in stagnation.

Thanks for taking the time to leave your feedback and I’m pleased to see that you enjoyed many of the things that make TripAdvisor a top place to work. As you mentioned, TripAdvisor offers not only a collaborative work culture with great coworkers, but also industry leading perks and benefits, including a free shuttle service to and from the city. We realize that this past summer’s construction projects made traffic in and out of Boston a challenge for all commuters and unfortunately that was beyond our control. We continue to work with our shuttle service to identify the ideal timing and routes to minimize the length of the commute. Collaboration is one of our core values and has been a key factor in our success. While location flexibility varies per department we want to ensure that employees spend the majority of their time in the offices that allow them to work most efficiently with their teams. Thanks again for your feedback and best of luck in your new role. - Nick Shanny
