Perk reviews

From the actual product itself to the inexperienced leadership team, I’m not sure how in the world TravelPerk reached unicorn status. Not only are their customers extremely unhappy but so are their people. LOL to HR’s responses about feedback - they clearly don’t know the definition of this buzzword. I’ve spoken to multiple TKers not only in the US but also in the European offices who have expressed major concerns around unfair compensation/ raises, non existent commission structures, favoritism, returning to office, and even employee s. harassment but none were addressed publicly or even privately. Please stop saying previous TKers should have talked to their HRBP or raised these issues in the engagement survey because the truth is they did and upper management didn’t even bat an eye. Google: 'Mini-revolt' as TravelPerk U-turns on remote work “So far, the leadership team has received 100 requests (roughly 8% of 1,200 employees) for exceptions; of those requests, 75% have been approved, the spokesperson says. The company did not say what would happen if an employee refuses to return.” The proof is in the pudding ya’ll! Clearly they told the other 25% to kick rocks. Since this processless 8 year old company still functions like a 50 person startup, how TravelPerk handled this situation is exactly how they handle everything else: on a case by case basis. Unless you’re a yes man or have close connections to their ignorant and preposterous leadership team, YOUR VOICE WON’T MATTER HERE. I know it's rough out there on the job market streets but whatever you do, keep scrolling if you see a TravelPerk job post!

Where do I start? There is no accountability for this European Company with their U.S. employees. They literally have no idea about proper processes to employee success. There is no one to speak to about these improprieties as the entire leadership team is in Spain. There is also a constant feeling of imbalance because there the goal posts are constantly being adjusted in favor of the Company. Remember those teeny little things that start in a relationship, that you put aside as cute little quirks? These are giant red flags that are trying to save you the time with working for this company. Here is another tidbit, they have no human resources department in the United States. You heard that correctly. Zero. There is no room for advancement, and no path to promotion. Do not be lulled by the cute human interest stories on LinkedIn, with the pictures touting teamwork and togetherness. They shuttered an entre division overnight with no warning. The stories about the corporate culture is simply cultivated for investors. There is extremely limited inclusivity/diversity, which is another glaring issue. The leadership team has one person of color. Somehow the C-Suite people don't think it matters. It does. This is not a start-up that you need to include on your resume.
