      Pros

      I think Kayak has the best of both worlds in terms of company culture and work environment. On one hand, it still operates as a small start-up, with a flat organization, great perks, and flexible hours. On the other hand, it is part of the Priceline Group, the world's largest online-travel company, which allows it to take risks and explore opportunities that could be out of reach for smaller companies.

      Cons

      Some people feel there's lack of formal direction in their career, but senior management is very friendly and always willing to listen and give advice to whoever asks.

      Pros

      There's a great culture where everyone is smart and happy with their lives, with a start-up vibe that has none of the misogyny or cut-throat competition of Silicon Valley. Amazing offices, good opportunities to travel, and young workforce. Easy to switch positions and with opportunities to learn new skills.

      Cons

      The pace of growth is slowing in company overall.

      Enjoyable work

      Pros

      I come into work early and leave work late, not because it's expected but because I enjoy the day-to-day work, projects I work on, and environment I work in. I work in a technical role and managers I work with are very technical minded, understand the problems that need to be solved, and provide the resources to solve the problems while also challenging the teams to find clever and efficient ways of completing the tasks. This can save money and also results in fulfilling work with interesting challenges to take on. Fair compensation and enjoyable working environment with lots of social perks. Minimal corporate bureaucracy.

      Cons

      Fast moving tech company with many technically minded managers is good in some areas but is a weakness in many other areas. There can be lack of communication between teams and groups, leading to overlapping toolsets, inefficient use of compute resources/hardware, and support teams such as Ops and IT support are left to figure out how to run things often with not much help.
