      Pros

      HomeAway technology stack has come a long way. One of the most appealing things about working here is the fact that you get to work with cutting edge technology. In addition, the engineering team are super smart, so working here is a great networking opportunity too.

      Cons

      Company is getting pretty big, and if you end up on the wrong team, you may find it that it is difficult for you to be impactful.

      Employer Brand & Digital Media Specialist

      Thank you for taking the time to leave a thoughtful review. We love a good tech stack as much as the next tech company and it’s great to hear you enjoy working on ours. Our Data Science and Engineering teams are so important to the success of HomeAway. You’re right though, we are growing rapidly. If someone finds themselves on a team that doesn’t quite feel right, we highly encourage internal movement and having a conversation with your manager.

      Pros

      Seemed like a great welcoming company to work with.

      Cons

      Got the job offer and then they ghosted me so I had to constantly bother them for a reply on paperwork until finally they said training was pushed back until an “unknown date” but yet they still have the job post up that they’re looking for people.

      Pros

      The people I work with, quality of product, benefits, flexibility, training, and fun work environment!

      Cons

      As all companies during the “great resignation”, there has been a lot of movement so you have to learn to be flexible as teams shift around and change management. Training could have been a little more streamlined up front but there is tons of continuous training opportunities!

      Pros

      Amazing office, both location and amenities... handful of amazing people to work with, fantastic drinks and snacks

      Cons

      Vrbo as a company thinks they're bigger and better than they actually are. Specific departments are so beyond toxic that day to day work life is draining. Most employees have zero concept of "team" and only look out for themselves and will do anything to throw you under the bus so they can look good to management. Biggest bunch of "try-hards" I've ever encountered.
