      When Everything is a P1 Issue, Nothing Is

      Pros

      + The new needham headquarters has some truly stellar amenities. Lunch 5 days a week, game room, full gym with locker rooms, etc. + There are some really amazing people that work there and I miss them dearly. + This is a great first job out of college, a tremendous learning experience.

      Cons

      - Product is always right and seems to have little sympathy for the engineers they work with. It is very easy for a Product Manager to insist that something be done over the weekend when they aren't the ones that have to do the actually engineering work. Not all product managers are at the same caliber either with makes the work even more frustrating. - There is too much politicking. People have become territorial instead of cooperative which makes every day a slog. - Engineering has very little input into the product roadmap which eventually forces some of the best engineers to seek new employment at smaller companies.

      Thank you for your feedback. We’re glad you were able to enjoy the new headquarters and positive learning experience here. Engineering is critical to our success and we take your concerns and the concerns of others leaving TripAdvisor very seriously. It’s disappointing to hear of the collaboration struggles and imbalances within teams because collaboration between product and engineering is crucial to delivering high quality products. We continue to invest in making sure that engineering and product teams work effectively together to build products that we’re proud of and deliver great experiences to our users. We appreciate you making us more aware of the challenges you experienced and wish you the best of luck in your future endeavors. Nick Shanny SVP Engineering and Operations

      codebase is an utter disaster

      Pros

      good compensation. free lunches. lots of young, beautiful people working there

      Cons

      codebase is a complete mess. take one example: a fellow developer had made some code modifications to the point where a variable had the exact opposite meaning of the variable's name. but nobody dared to try to change the name of the variable for fear of what might break. people work very long hours, weekends, etc. i witnessed many incidents of bosses being downright mean and nasty to their employees, including yelling and demeaning comments. you will be spending most of your time fixing bugs.

      Where is this going?

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      - Good benefits (health and dental insurance, free food 3 times a week, snack and beverages in the office, fitness reimbursement) - Smart and fun people to work with - HR and Experience Manager made strong effort to organise social activities in the office and contributed to make the environment more friendly and pleasant

      Cons

      - No opportunities of career growth: the company has been talking about a career plan since months but so far no concrete success stories and no clear explanation on what you need to do to get promoted. - Zero chances of transfer within different location: you can get all the support from your local managers but upper management at the home office won't help you at all to make it happen. Don't even start the internal interview process, it's a waste of time. - No strategic long run planning: projects and products are launched to be shut down only after few months (e.g. sales of Instant Booking). - Turnover in Dublin office is very high: when the sales department opened in 2016, very smart people were hired but most of them have left already. And the saddest thing is that the company doesn't do anything to retain talented people. - Lack of transparency from the company, despite one of their main value is "We believe in transparency".

      Thanks for providing your feedback. We take all employee feedback very seriously as it helps us improve the way we operate. We’re pleased to see that you enjoyed the benefits and culture at our Dublin office. Investing in our people remains one of our top priorities, as we believe our employees are truly our greatest strength as an organization. I’m uncertain of when you left TripAdvisor, but we recently welcomed a new leader to the Dublin team who is working on supporting and advancing our career development program there and across other TAMG locations. We encourage all employees to embrace our “Act like an Owner” core value and take ownership of their career growth and development. We provide many tools, resources and information to assist employees with effectively managing and growing their careers. We’re proud to have promoted and internally transferred many of our global employees over the past year, but admittedly, we need to do a better job of publicizing and communicating these exciting updates. Thank you again for your feedback and we wish you the best of luck in your new opportunity. - Sam Thompson, Regional Director of Inside Sales
