      Great compensation and benefits, but expect to work hard - Anonymous employee KAYAK Employee Review

      Pros

      I think your experience really depends on your manager. If you have a good one, and you work hard, you can expect raises, bonuses, and personal recognition. Other pluses: few meetings, lots of freedom to try new things. Excellent compensation and benefits. Co-workers were very bright.

      Cons

      There were periods of time that were very stressful, with lots of late nights and production issues. After the acquisition a lot of people seemed to lose motivation, and there's been a lot of turnover. Management doesn't seem to care much about diversity on the technical team, or about mentoring young/new hires.

      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.
