Kayak's upper management (commercial team) practices nepotism
Pros
- Great product - filters! - Nice offices - Stanford, Berlin, Copenhagen. - Smart people for the most part - Nice colleagues, those in Stamford and Copenhagen. - They won't offer help but if you ask, many team members will happily give you training on stuff. - Okay salary, market rate - Good perks such as tuition allowance etc
Cons
-While the people are smart, many of those in upper management are very fake -Upper management in North America are cliquey, racist and only hire within their own ethnicity - There's a lot of backstabbing that goes around in the commercial team in the US - The commercial team in London is better but the way it's being run is a joke. - A few members of upper management has been rated very low in the assessment tests given by HR to staff, so choose your bosses wisely. - Tech teams aren't as agile as they think and they don't get with the times. - Many internal systems are old, clunky and plain embarrassing. - It depends where you're situated, but many teams esp in Asia and San Francisco have zero work life balance
