Tripadvisor reviews

There is a total lack of people management ability and emotional intelligence at the upper management level. These individuals are in need of a people management course. Some of them also need a lesson in time management and prioritization. Overall, there is very little investment in employee satisfaction, motivation, and growth. Yes, there are some great team leaders within the organization, but that's the exception, not the rule. I don't think these people learned their skills at TripAdvisor. Moving between departments at TripAdvisor is much more difficult than it needs to be. Isn't it better to keep a great employee and let them learn something new than to lose them altogether?

I joined TripAdvisor with very high expectations having heard it was a great place to work, with exciting projects and a wonderful culture. I have to say I was disappointed on all fronts. There are a lot of well educated and bright people unfortunately the few that let it go to their heads create an atmosphere of micromanagement that is intolerable. I will echo earlier comments about making sure you know who you will be reporting too. "Speed Wins" is indeed the mantra but don't expect to put your stamp on much. Even minor decisions are dictated from the top and if you are caught in the middle of a disagreement between two senior managers the paralysis can be demoralizing. Taking risks and learning from failure is supposed to be part of the culture but I did not see much risk taking and there was a strange fear of any failure from most employees.
