Pros

Before applying to the San Francisco office, read the Viator Glassdoor postings to understand what to expect in the San Francisco office. Ignore the "Great Place" fake postings. You'll be working for the Viator brand under the control of the former Vacation Rentals management. Tripadvisor is the parent company. Benefits from Tripadvisor are good with extra perks like a $600 health rebate and travel to other offices. Salaries are 20-40% below market in San Francisco, because they're set in Needham.

Cons

Extreme favoritism lets Vacation Rentals managers harass and bully without consequence, and contrary to the their glowing rhetoric, failure cover-up is the one constant of Vacation Rentals management. Your best option is not to join the company and avoid this depressing workplace. For good reason, they're having trouble hiring and retaining anyone in San Francisco. You'll be making your exit plans after your first month.

Tripadvisor Response

Thank you for your posting. While no company enjoys reading posts like this, we are appreciative of the opportunity to respond. None of the positive ratings on GlassDoor are fake or falsely generated by the company. Both positive and constructive feedback give us the opportunity to address and adjust. Also, we follow standard salary benchmarking practices, which include basing job salaries on their current geographic market, not on the headquarters data. Our office is growing and full of smart dedicated people who believe TripAdvisor is a great place to work (just ask Forbes!). We are also a transparent company who in no way encourages or condones favoritism or bullying. Although it appears that you are no longer an employee, I do want to encourage anyone who has constructive feedback to check in with the HR team. We do, however, encourage employees to take risks, which might result in failure – another learning opportunity.

Pros

I really enjoyed my time at TripAdvisor! I was promoted twice during my time there. You definitely have to express interest in being promoted and work very hard at it, but it’s all completely doable. Work life balance was also fantastic!

Cons

There are lots of changes happening within the travel industry in general, so jobs and departments of TA can also change really quickly. Be flexible!
