Tripadvisor reviews

This is a company that has been able to survive a lot longer than it should because of the competitive advantage of the content. The company operates sort of like a family business. A lot of the very senior people exhibit zero skills in their area but seem to have lasted in the company so long because the CEO likes them. The management so out of touch with consumer needs (particularly in Asia) and seem hell bent on alienating every client and partner we've ever worked with. Teams are given tasks that mean they compete with each other or worse, do the same things as another team! The lack of career progression prospects particularly for middle managers is shocking. Anyone who is even mildly ambitious and good at their jobs are bound to leave in the next 6 months after realizing they have absolutely zero chance at a promotion. Stay away from this company. It is on a downward trajectory for sure.

- work is boring - most people do tactical stuff all day and there is no strategy involved, doesn't matter what level you are - career pathing is nonexistent - undeserved promotions go to those who are management favorites - many coworkers are just here until something better comes along so you never know when your team will lose more people - it's so quiet in the office that you will want to jump out the windows every day - TripAdvisor doesn't seem to care about the vacation rentals part of the business at all. It's rarely mentioned in the quarterly updates and we are on our own island.
