Pros

I think there are a few really great things about TripAdvisor: * product people love * the great office space * food, snacks, fun events * kegerator

Cons

There were a lot of reasons why I left. They included: * terrible middle-management layer (and in general, way too many layers in a company that small) * lots of opinions that muddle product development, nobody given proper responsibility for a product * some good process, but a lot of "one person made this mistake, so let's introduce this step to prevent it ever happening again" type of things * weird, "controlling" attitude. e.g. there is a foosball table, but people get in trouble for using it * lack of recognition for good work * micromanaging, and lots of it

Pros

The pace and work/ life balance are very manageable and they are still pro remote work which is a huge benefit as a lot of companies push return to office. The benefits and salaries are great compared to the industry standards.

Cons

Lots of turmoil, changeover, layoffs and chaos caused by a recent re-org. ELT does not have vision or innovation outside of “AI” and it’s hard to feel confident about the long term success of the company. Lots of white men who lack creativity.
