      Horrific management

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Strong business model, excellent growth potential. Dedicated peers and colleagues. Fun, generous CEO.

      Cons

      C-level executives are astonishingly bad at management. Google them and you will find proof. Their personal lives bleed into their professional work. The CFO and CMO are married. The CFO also runs HR. All misbehavior from C-level personnel is ignored. No regard for human resources policies, protocols, career development. Employees are disillusioned. Morale is low, and good people are quitting by the day.

      Pros

      Fun colleagues and work environment , Very young and Dynamic

      Cons

      When I first joined the company I thought that someone leaving kayak was crazy to make such a choice and then I understood ... Half of kayak employees have manager titles while they dont manage anyone and dont deserve it . Communication is terrible in between teams as no one from commercial have an idea what is happening in the marketing side and vice versa. Higher management is inefficient/ none supportive because most of them do not know how to manage their teams. No clear strategies especially in Europe, everything changes from one day to another without prior communications and teams need to constantly readapt the way they work together. KAYAK policy lately seems to be to acquire as many metasearch companies as possible and fire people in bulk calling it "re-organisation" and whenever employees complain about it they mention it is the last time this will happen and just like this moments after (1/2 months or 3 months later) it happens again.
