Pros

- Rapid growth - if you want to say you work for a company that is hypergrowing, TA is the one - Gaining fame/namesake in the market (for both tech and travel) - Relatively fast career progression and title/level changes (if you are favored by decision-makers) - Friendly and helpful recruiters and recruitment coordinators

Cons

- Slow and inexperienced HR (outside of recruiting). Benefits/immigration folks are not clear on what they're doing - No mental health support or insurance - Career growth based largely on favoritism and nepotism - Micromanaging leaders (managers and C-level execs alike) - Constant excuse of "we are a start-up, we'll work on it" when faced with problems or honest feedback - Rigid leaders and ideas in finance & legal that slows down work

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
