Tripadvisor reviews

Career opportunities and growth are extremely limited. You are told to manage your own career and there are resources available to you, but when you try and use those resources or have career conversations with your managers you get nowhere. Open roles are often not "opened" at all but instead people are hand selected to move into them based on preferences from upper management. A lot of decisions are made based on who upper management likes and you have to be constantly worried about getting on someone's bad side and blacklisting yourself at the company. The pay is not at all competitive and there's no transparency into what the range for any role should be. The raises are minimal each year and if you received a spot bonus or a promotion within the last year or two it will be used against you to make your annual raise that much lower. Overall there's no focus on retaining the people they have, which is why so many people are leaving.

Low salary: But you can top it up by exceeding your given targets... Sometimes salaries & bonuses were not paid on time. Imagine if you have bills to pay... High percentage of unfairness: I would not put race into this as I believe this has nothing to do with this. But after working for this company for more than 3 years, ALWAYS exceeding their sales targets & focusing on total customer satisfaction and maintaining the lowest cancellation percentage as possible (tracked!), still I was never promoted. One of the team-lead purposely leaked the name of the person she wanted in her team. It was not me but a person who performed less than me and was at the company less time than me. The thing that I never understood is "Why create an internal job advert when you know your preferences?". No clear or possible career growth within the company: You've got to be a "friend of" to get promoted. They like sending "fake" internal roles and take from outside. When they have a clear idea of who they want in a particular team, others are lured to believe in the next opportunity. Strange and unhelpful HR team: A coworker expressed her concerns to HR, this person was sacked like a dog. Continuous and unexpected changes: Could be good or bad. But I was happy with this. instability: People come and go continuously, even at senior managerial level. Not a good sign for a stable company. While working as a talent supplier my point of contact was miss xxx this person made my job harder. She clearly did not want me to work with her or for the best interests of the company as she made everything hostile for me. She would set up appointments/interviews with my candidates and not call them. She did not care... But because I loved TripAdvisor so much, I would cover up and take the blame so candidates would not know. She clearly did not like me, It took her 3 months to send me the contract, and only after my ex-manager's push! When asked why she was treating me this way, she could not even give a proper answer. Poor ex-managers could not help on this occasion. Because of her, this time around I had no other chance but to turn the TripAdvisor page for good. This girl acted like it was her dad's company. Sad! Do I recommend this company? Make your own decision. Nobody loses, you either win or you learn.
