Pros

KAYAK is great technology company to work for, so many talented people to learn from. They offer many perks (30 day holiday, 1 day off on your birthday, free lunch & breakfast, company pension, many team events, friday beer), in a beautiful office well located. You really feel valued and trusted here.

Cons

There is quite a turn over in employees, with people coming, leaving and of course people being let go, which sucks just like in any other company. Also, if you want to grow here, you need to fight for it (among your own team too).

Pros

Great benefits: Healthcare had great coverage and affordable monthly payments. I also really appreciated the work-from-wherever policy as well as all the office snacks. Fantastic people: I genuinely loved the people I worked with—they made me feel like I belonged and was appreciated. My manager worked to build me up, something that can't be said for a lot of places. Travel perks: The ability to travel for work made this experience incredibly rewarding.

Cons

Slow mobility: Trying to get promoted felt like a moving goalpost—the expectations changed every six months and made it nearly impossible to get to the next step. Even then, the business was stingy about who gets promoted, which was incredibly discouraging after years of trying to prove myself.
