Great place to work

Pros

The people - I have never worked with a nicer, smarter bunch of people. People care about each other, we have a laugh and we work hard. It's a great working environment. Management that actually care - we have a London leadership team made up of the most senior people in the office and they really care about employee happiness. I also feel really supported by the management of my team. I am proud of what I do - at TripAdvisor you are encouraged to take ownership of what you work on and it's a pretty flat structure across the business, which I enjoy. There are great perks to working here - healthcare, dental, £850 towards fitness, free lunch on Tuesdays and Thursdays, fun office events, thoughtful little gifts, rooftop terrace. I work as part of a global team and I really feel like that. Although we work across the world, we have fortnightly meetings, help each other out and check in regularly.

Cons

The career progression could be clearer, but management is aware of this and are working on better growth plans, I also don't think this is an issue specific to this company

Needs a complete overhaul

Pros

- People are lovely - London office is in a great location - It’s nice to work for a company which everyone knows and likes

Cons

- A real lack of ideas and innovation: the company hasn’t moved with the times and shows no sign of doing so - Takes a long time to get anything done as management will not make decisions for fear of upsetting those higher up - Extremely US-centric. London feels like an after thought rather than an integral part of the business. There’s an unspoken rule that to get anywhere in the company you need to move to HQ.

Thank you for providing your feedback. We take your and all employee feedback very seriously and use it continuously improve the way we operate. I realize that you’re a former employee who may not be aware of the recent structural changes that we’ve made within our organization. We’ve fundamentally shifted the way that we’re organized, which allows us to improve our focus on each business and enables each of our business lines to operate more efficiently. Over TripAdvisor’s 17+ years of operation, there have been many significant changes to the business. Each period of change had presented opportunities for growth as a business, and new opportunities for our team, globally. Thank you again for sharing your feedback and we wish you the best of luck in your new opportunity. - Martin Verdon-Roe, VP Global Sales Strategy

Pros

-Fun, young environment. - Great snacks, decent benefits - good effort to train newbies in sales and take risks on unproven people

Cons

- Share price has tanked by half since I left the company. Whether this is testimony to the company and its direction, I’ll leave it for the reader and the market to decide - Great if you are in a non-sales role, everyone wants to work with Tripadvisor. If you were in a sales role (especially for business listings) it was a cutthroat and stressful environment. Think 2 hour call times minimum daily. Overhired at one point in time to make numbers for revenue but lack of feasibility in business model Led to the company Having to let go of a couple of people -Business development guys basically dialing for dollars - Guys are still stuck in their same roles 3, 4 years in - Managers stuck in their same roles... with limited trajectory for growth
