KAYAK reviews

When I first joined the company I thought that someone leaving kayak was crazy to make such a choice and then I understood ... Half of kayak employees have manager titles while they dont manage anyone and dont deserve it . Communication is terrible in between teams as no one from commercial have an idea what is happening in the marketing side and vice versa. Higher management is inefficient/ none supportive because most of them do not know how to manage their teams. No clear strategies especially in Europe, everything changes from one day to another without prior communications and teams need to constantly readapt the way they work together. KAYAK policy lately seems to be to acquire as many metasearch companies as possible and fire people in bulk calling it "re-organisation" and whenever employees complain about it they mention it is the last time this will happen and just like this moments after (1/2 months or 3 months later) it happens again.

Lame office culture. No energy or commitment to the staff or any long term product thinking. Massive layoffs made all the time. Don't get too comfortable,
