Decent company

Pros

Decent salary and travel benefits. Nice office and location and nice people on the whole. Some promotion and bonus opportunities

Cons

Not many engineers in London, so somewhat left out of the loop. US managers can impose US work ethic (don't take those holidays), and not appreciate your work.

As is true with any global company, having offices around the world presents unique challenges. We continue to progress in the way we communicate globally and balance workloads, all while keeping our speed wins philosophy top of mind.

Thanks for your comments, although without further detail it’s difficult to address your specific concerns. We take employee feedback very seriously and offer many opportunities, such as monthly town halls and management sync ups, for employees to voice their suggestions and opinions to the leadership team. I want to hear your feedback and encourage you to connect with your HR business partner or me directly to chat further. - Nick Shanny, SVP Engineering and Operations

Getting worse in every aspect

Pros

lunch, gym are probably the only one

Cons

It could vary depending on your managers, but to many engineers it is getting worse and worse: tremendous pressures, extreme micromanagement, false urgency, endless design reviews, overtime working, impractical LOE, blaming for every imperfection. Bully and fearing are used to "manage". Engineers are not valued as much over years, which is why so many are leaving, and the products are turning less competitive.

Thanks for your review. I appreciate your candid remarks, although this type of feedback is always tough to read. As you’re aware, the recent launch of our new site and app experience was an all hands on deck effort, and many teams worked tirelessly towards the launch date. I recognize that it has been a stressful few weeks but hoping that you and all TripAdvisor employees are as proud as I am of the new experience that we have delivered to our consumers. Regarding your comments about the managers here, I agree that having an effective manager is crucial to the success of any employee. We absolutely value our engineers and all employees and want to make sure you feel successful and supported. What you have described is not something that I support, and if I were experiencing what you are describing, I would be frustrated and disappointed. Unfortunately, I cannot fix problems that I do not know about, so I encourage you to connect directly with me. Help me understand the situation so I can make meaningful change. Thanks again for your feedback.- Nick Shanny, SVP Engineering
