      Pros

      Nice office, ok benefits, recent round of funding

      Cons

      The company has a serious void of competent people leaders. There are managers everywhere, but the title does not equate to competence. This starts from the very top. The co-founders are neither inspiring, nor good leaders of people. Their respective orgs are run more out of fear than hiring solid people and trusting their decisions. A culture of blame certainly exists. Certain departments are completely devoid of leadership and managers are pulling the rope in all different directions, then changing course on a regular basis. Overall, the company seems to be doing ok from a business perspective despite the internal mess. It’s hard to imagine this continuing as the company gets bigger and bigger and these issues are magnified.

      I appreciate you taking the time to share your feedback. Our culture is a huge part of who we are at TripActions and we fully recognize that having great managers is critical for a company growing as fast as we are all around the globe. We recognize that things can get crazy at a hyper-growth startup, but that's never an excuse for ensuring our managers are the best they can be across the board. I'm thinking through some new programs that we can run to better support our managers and leaders and would love your input. If you're open to chatting live, please don't hesitate to reach out!

      Pros

      Fast paced, plenty of room and opportunity to grow. Very good starting pay and ability to earn bonuses. Many remote work options. Strong culture and supportive leadership, with fun company events (like the Christmas party) that help people feel connected, even for the many remote employees.

      Cons

      The pre‑hire assessment is very strict and pass/fail. I’ve referred strong, experienced candidates who I know are good workers, but they did not pass the test and were not given the opportunity to move forward. It feels like the process may screen out some high‑potential talent who could otherwise thrive here.
