Pros

Everyone here at FlipKey is fun to work with. I work on the engineering team and everyone gets along. Younger engineers are guided by the senior engineers. Everyone is knowledgable and willing to help. The benefits we get from being part of TripAdvisor are solid. Great office culture.

Cons

Salaries are average and not tied to performance. There is no recognition when someone goes above and beyond. There is 0 direction from management. The avenue for career advancement is narrow if it exists at all. Lately we just follow our competitors with no focus on innovation.

Pros

The pace and work/ life balance are very manageable and they are still pro remote work which is a huge benefit as a lot of companies push return to office. The benefits and salaries are great compared to the industry standards.

Cons

Lots of turmoil, changeover, layoffs and chaos caused by a recent re-org. ELT does not have vision or innovation outside of “AI” and it’s hard to feel confident about the long term success of the company. Lots of white men who lack creativity.
