Pros

Great, collaborative engineering organization - full of individuals with deep knowledge of their field. You'll learn a ton about how to build software quickly at scale. By and large the work-life balance is appropriate although some teams death-march more than others.

Cons

Large, monolithic codebase that is painful to work with due to lack of investment in routine upkeep and automated testing Time-tracking oriented culture - your project time is tracked to the hour and reported upwards throughout management Although you'll be shipping code every week often you'll find yourself just moving buttons around on an existing page. A recent exodus of young engineers has left a huge gap in the culture

Pros

Vibrant culture and engaged employees create a positive working environment. Demographically very diverse, especially for a tech company. Neat product. Fantastic benefits. Great industry.

Cons

Tech stack was overly complicated and chained to technical debt. Tech practices were not terribly sophisticated -- code reviews and unit tests were just getting some traction. Software process was very informal and kind of disorganized.

Thank you very much for your feedback. We pride ourselves on our culture, our product and our benefits so I’m happy to see that you had such a positive experience in each of those areas. In regard to our code reviews and our unit testing, you were absolutely correct. There was a time when unit tests and code reviews were not a priority, but that has changed. The teams are now moving forward to integrate those practices throughout the organization as a standard requirement for all software development. We also do have a more informal software process, but our reasoning behind this is because we try to be careful not to put in process for processes sake. With that being said, we also want to make sure we are being as efficient as possible so this is something we can look at. Thanks again, Tracey

In this growing company you create your own opportunities, and you are solely responsible for what you make of them.

Working for TripAdvisor is nor for you if you want to do the same thing every day, year after year.
