      Horrible engineering culture

      Senior software engineer
      Recommend
      CEO approval
      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good work life balance

      Cons

      - No drive / boldness to innovate old monolite architecture - Making money is more important than user experience - Build + start time of frontend solution takes about 30 minutes - Managed by american employees, european knowledge gets discarded - No clear vision on how product should define itself within the next years - Tech teams don't work together, everyones is working for themselfes. They even compete silently against each other introducing different tech stacks. - Releasing fast instead of quality.

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      I work in one of KAYAK's APAC office - Global company with a startup culture - Most colleagues are easy going and very willing to share ideas and teach - New things to learn every day about travel and tech - Management style is quite flat, lots of lateral mobility (roles, responsibilities, locations) - Encourage work-life balance - Teams are quite international - Able to work with colleagues from various global offices - Free snacks and drinks at the office - A good amount of holidays and allows working from home on occassions - Generous tuition allowance so you can sign up for courses - Reasonable pay

      Cons

      There is not many cons but a few things to keep in mind - Since the work culture is quite flexible, you have to be self-discipline to make sure you get things done - While having good lateral mobility, upward mobility and its requirement can be unclear at times - There could be resources constraints at certain teams and things might not move as fast as you wish - You have to take ownership and be self-driven to make things happen and be bold to raise ideas backed with data, in other words, you cannot wait for others to tell you what to do - Since we work with international colleagues on a daily basis, you likely need good English to communicate
