Pros

The facilities and office spaces are good, and the cafeteria staff are very friendly.

Cons

The environment is highly competitive. TravelPerk’s culture is based on appearances, creating a “7-star” image that doesn’t reflect reality. Software engineers are often evaluated more on what they document and communicate rather than on their technical execution, which affects the company’s product quality. I've seen highly talented colleagues put on PIPs or even dismissed for “underperformance,” based on totally subjective and biased opinions. The engineering career path is fundamentally flawed, where "communication" is rewarded over execution. As a result, we see impressive projections but poor execution. Due to the competitive atmosphere, it’s common to encounter colleagues who withhold information, work in silos, or even “betray” others. This is further emphasized in the famous “End of the Week” meetings, where a false sense of excellence is projected, with individuals showcasing an image of success that doesn’t bring any real benefit—financial or otherwise—to the company, as this success is merely a bluff. As with other aspects, at TravelPerk, diversity is merely superficial. There isn’t a truly multicultural environment, nor an inclusive age range—rather, it’s distinctly Anglo-Saxon and skewed towards younger individuals, with those who 'stand out' fitting a specific personality type. If your English skills are not fluent, you may be treated as a second-class citizen, missing promotion opportunities, or even being evaluated as low-performing and dismissed.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. At TravelPerk, we’re rooted in a dedication to first-principle thinking, valuing mindset and potential, and nurturing an environment of genuine connection and support. It’s concerning to hear that aspects of your experience didn’t align with these values. Our performance philosophy gives equal weight to what is delivered, and how it is delivered. Therefore, a balance of good communication and technical execution is essential for delivering a high-quality product. We recognize that feedback on communication can sometimes feel subjective, and we are committed to ensuring that our processes remain transparent and balanced to acknowledge different strengths. We are a team of individuals united by our mission to fix business travel, and we are deeply committed to ensuring that our people feel included and supported. As of today, we proudly have over 50 different nationalities represented within our team, with English as our main business language. Fluency in English is essential to effectively serve our global customers and facilitate internal communication and collaboration. To support this, we also offer IRL English lessons for our Barcelona-based employees. At TravelPerk, we aim to create a workplace where everyone belongs, not just fits in, and can do their best work. This commitment is central to our Belonging philosophy, which focuses on fostering a work environment where everyone feels they truly belong. Your insights help us continue improving to ensure that TravelPerk remains a place where people can thrive, feel connected, and make a meaningful impact. Thank you again for your contributions, and we wish you all the best in your future endeavors.
