Great culture to work on high impact projects and learn by doing surrounded by a great team
Pros
Agoda encourages taking (measured) risks. It's a culture of no blaming when something didn't work out but rather try to learn from it. The working atmosphere is really good. People are mostly nice, very collaborative, non judgmental and not too worried about politics. I had never imagined working in a company with so many so smart people. There are really high caliber people in every department. The size and growth of the business make it possible to work on projects of great impact, whatever your function is.
Cons
In my opinion the CEO is still involved in too many decisions. They are mostly right decisions. He is a really passionate leader, great communicator, with high IQ and EQ and knowing the business in great detail. My only worry is that slows down operations a bit. Something senior management is fixing is the frequent change in priorities happening in the past. That's improving rapidly and I expect it to be out of my cons list in 1 year. I'm glad the organization is resilient to make organizational changes like this.
