Pros

"Speed Wins" is the mantra... the entire company works fast in order to stay current. It's great to see projects actually happen, unlike other companies where everything moves too slow. Well rewarded when you make an impact. Good people... and smart. It makes you learn more.

Cons

With the speed, things can be higher stress at times. (But the two free kegs available at all times helps). Titles are weird... don't match the industry, and can sound inferior.

Pros

The people are the biggest pro. I worked as an engineer here for a couple years with very hard-working and fun people. Management was open about the direction of the company and each employee's role in its future. We all put in a lot of time and effort and we were recognized for going the extra mile. We tried to innovate and put out a solid product to satisfy our customers

Cons

After the acquisition and the founders left, things started to change for the worse. The communication from upper management ceased as did the incentive to give extra effort. New management made no attempt to get to know any of the employees. We began to more closely imitate our competitors when building new features and it always felt like we were a few steps behind. This is not a terrible place to work but if you're an engineer looking to use cutting-edge technologies, host meet-ups, release open-sourced projects, contribute to a useful tech blog (like the competitors), or climb the corporate ladder -- this is probably not the place for you.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re experience at FlipKey was mixed. I would have to agree with you that change has been a constant over the last couple of years and I know it has not been easy for many of our employees. However, we strongly believe that we’ve also gained a lot of benefits from it. For instance, the business has grown significantly and we have been able to expand our opportunities for career growth across the organization. You’ve also raised some good points in regard to hosting meet-ups, open-sourced projects and the like. We’ve begun addressing these areas (for instance, we have hosted some great meet-ups), but there is more we can be doing. However, we want to make sure we are supporting what our employees are excited about and are interested in doing. We strive to be a culture that rewards initiative and people who are self-starters so we are always open to hearing our employees’ ideas. While we have made strides in a number of areas, we are constantly looking to improve so I appreciate your input. Thank you again, Tracey
