Tripadvisor reviews

Low salaries, only good if you are really the number 1 top performer over the whole office for a long time. No career opportunities (very rare). Too many changes in a very short period of time (sometimes overnight), makes you wonder if they actually know what they are doing. The product. The product. The product. No one wants to admit that the products has many faults, they always try to blame something or someone else. Management is here only for supervising, no real leadership/managerial skills. Super high turnover rate. All the good salespeople are leaving within 6 months. PS: REFERRALS GIVE YOU 6300 pounds extra! 4 times your salary - Explain this logic!

Been with Tripadvisor since it was at Needham. It was a very positive experience the first couple of years, but since then, things have been deteriorating. It could be because of stock falling, from high above $100 down to $30 some at some point, Tripadvisor has become more tense and cautious. The motto the last few years have been 'cutting overhead'. That so-called 'overhead' leads to following effects: team downsized to half (many lefts but not many new fillings) but double up the works, snacks got cut down (even got rid of the paper cup on all of the upper floors), a handful of reorgs. When I started working at my current position, I realized the culture at Tripadvisor has not been better either. For one, Tripadvisor doesn't invest much in the employee. There weren't much of the training. For example, unless it's directly applied to the individual existing works, request for attending conference most likely will get turned down. Over the last 6 years, I haven't got to attend one single conference. Transparency at Trip hasn't been at it's best compared to other companies. For instance, employees have submitted questions but never get answered. At townhall, there is generally only a few minutes for addressing a few questions. But one thing that has gone the wrong way above all is the management. I've literally witnessed company letting the good employee go instead of working to keep them. If management wants you to go, they will make things difficult for you so you can quit yourself. If management thinks a team does not add value to their own agenda, they let the team slowly dying on its own instead. There are good management, so it depends on which you joined, but CoreX eng management is not one
