      Pros

      Laid back culture, free fruit in the morning, a ping pong table.

      Cons

      Lack of management skills, young people with big job titles. Typical American company that acquires other companies and sack everyone with no feelings

      Hello. Thanks for the feedback although I’m sorry to hear that you did not have a positive experience. It looks like you have already left so you won’t get to see it but we are investing a lot in manager training this year which we will be piloting in the coming months. As to sacking people with no feelings, the decision to say goodbye to a team member is never taken lightly as we know it has a big impact on each employee. Thanks for your time at KAYAK and I wish you the best in your next role.

      Great people and interesting industry to be in

      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.
