Thank you for taking the time to provide feedback for the Singapore office. We are happy to hear your great feedback on our benefits, learning opportunities and team members. It is however disappointing to learn that your experience hasn’t been completely positive. As a global business across different regions, I can understand that at times you feel stretched as we continue to drive the business forward. However we do enable a flexible working environment and when relevant also support working from home to better empower working across time zones and improving work life balance. In TripAdvisor we adopt a competitive Sales Incentive scheme whereby the achievement of targets is highly rewarded across numerous territories within the APAC region, and this scheme has proved to be very successful. This success has allowed individuals to have the freedom to work as they need in order to reach their targets. We are constantly striving to become a better sales organisation and are continually improving our sales tools to utilize the latest in reporting and metric standards to provide transparency and support to our teams with the most up to date data with the aim to help them achieve their goals and professional development. This may be perceived as the constant change that you have experienced. We also work hard to identify strong talent, providing different career tracks - managerial or individual contributor within our sales organisation and the broader TripAdvisor business units. We would love to have a conversation with you to better understand your challenges and solutions that might address the concerns you raised. Many thanks, Amolakh Calais

Pros

The people you get to work with are genuinely great, and the work-life balance remains fairly solid. In the past, the company attracted top-tier engineering talent from the most reputable tech firms, and the expectations were high but rewarding. A lot of that collaborative culture still exists among the engineers. You will be surrounded by capable individuals who want to do good work.

Cons

The company has been battered by unresolved structural issues over the last decade. The core meta-search business was crippled when Google altered its algorithms to prioritize its own travel products, effectively choking off the organic traffic Tripadvisor depended on. Combined with the impact of COVID-19, leadership tried launching new products to escape this SEO reliance, but those attempts consistently missed the mark. Now, the rapid adoption of LLMs is delivering another severe blow. Users no longer need traditional meta-search to plan travel. The core Tripadvisor product has essentially become a legacy cash cow, with the Experiences division (Viator) being the primary engine keeping the business afloat. Following the departure of the former CEO, thousands of highly skilled employees have left through attrition or ongoing restructuring. Layoffs have become a grim constant, happening once or twice a year. Even if you manage to avoid the cuts, the compensation structure is no longer competitive for the tech industry, and RSUs have virtually dried up. Because of the abysmal direction and the very high chance you won't survive the next round of looming layoffs, I strongly recommend avoiding this company as a new hire.
