Pros

Great office environment, free lunch, pub, overall highly enthusiastic and smart coworkers. Management can be aloof, particularly in Marketing, and bit unfocused. But overall, it's a great company

Cons

see above for my comments

Pros

This was an intense place to work but I liked the people a lot and felt like everyone was very real and down to earth

Cons

When I was there, HR and Recruiting were not organized and there was a lack of leadership in both areas that was causing problems.

Thanks for your comments. I agree that this is an environment where people work hard, but are generally nice and really down to earth; I see this every day. I am glad you had the same experience during your time here at TripAdvisor. I appreciate your comments about HR. I am not sure when you worked here (likely before my time if you worked in Newton), but as the head of the function for the last 15 months, I am proud of the significant leadership depth we have built over the last year and how the function is evolving. Best of luck to you in your future business pursuits, and thanks for taking the time to leave a review. Beth Grous Chief People Officer

Pros

you get paid, that's it. Cannot think of anything good about the team. I am not talking about the company i am talking about teams.

Cons

The so called new hire team rotation does not exist at all! When they hire they give such option. However once you are placed in a team, you are dead. People: In the whole year we have only one team lunch(no outing at all), all my manager knows is to stand behind people and asking how's it going. Those nerds in my team never know how to have a life. All they talk about is go home and watch cartoon. and they are pool on communucation with others, all cynic. When I ask how to find sth or can you give me a demo, they would say go google. Technology: They never know how old their technology is . Java for websites, not willing to use new stuffs. You cannot find spark/ nosql/ redis/ docker/ whatever is industrial standard now. They use SOAP, HTML, Spring, all kinds of dead limbo stuffs. Managers generally come for 3 years then leave. No one cars about long term profit. Stocks: Company miss market for 3 times now it is only $50, the revenue is even lower than 2014. I cannot think of any future. Promotion: Great people leaves. My best body at the team not at google and I am at another big company. When we reunion and talked, we both agree that manager does not know how to promote right people. Salary raise cannot even counter inflation. People's title does not even change after 3 years. Energy: I can only see people in their 40s in manaqer position, which makes the whole company not enegertic at all.
