      Pros

      Good people, unfortunately a bad management.

      Cons

      I am deeply disappointed in TravelPerk's treatment of its employees. As a software engineer, I have witnessed firsthand the company's disregard for our wellbeing and fair compensation. Despite our hard work and dedication to the company's success, we are consistently undervalued and overworked. The company claims to promote a healthy work-life balance, but in reality, we are expected to work long hours and are not adequately compensated for our time and effort. In addition, the company's benefits and perks are minimal compared to other tech companies in the industry, making it difficult to justify staying with TravelPerk. Furthermore, the lack of transparency and communication from upper management has created a toxic work environment, where employees are not respected or valued. The company's culture of fear and intimidation has resulted in a high turnover rate and low employee morale.

      Thank you for your feedback. We take all feedback on board to continue to improve the employee experience and would like to take the opportunity to highlight our demonstrable commitment to work-life balance. As a few examples, employees have free access to the iFeel well-being app, we promote flexible working, offer work-from-anywhere allowances and provide highly competitive parental leave benefits. Our wider benefits are benchmarked against the tech industry, and we continue to make regular additions to our package to reward our employees for their hard work and dedication. Thank you again for taking the time to give feedback. It is extremely valuable in helping to improve TravelPerk. We will discuss your concerns with our teams.

      Pros

      Great work-life balance clear path for promo and multiple career path options really good people Fun events always happening, the company cares about it's employees and wants everyone to collab and work as a team

      Cons

      with many tech companies there are constant changes and needing to adapt to those changes. The company is relatively young so there are growing pains that come with that

      Pros

      -Clear career growth path at Perk! The company is very transparent about the steps to become either an AE, AM, or IS after being an SDR. Perk is fast-growing and the opportunities are endless. They’re always adding new roles you can become after being in an entry-level role. -Product: One of the best products in the industry. Customers love talking about their business travel process, and it’s an easy product to be passionate about. My personal experience with our product is seamless and exactly how we market it. -Work-Life Balance: Extremely attainable. I have not once felt like I have to overwork myself or continue my work at home, which is a night and day difference from my previous job! -Hybrid-Work: 3 days in-real-life, and 2 days remote. Also 20 work-from-anywhere days as they encourage us to travel. Compensation: Extremely good. Base salary is at industry standard. Commission is uncapped and targets are very attainable to receive a 100%+ commission check. -Culture is unmatched! Extremely friendly sales team always looking to help and coach others in sales. Perk is very straightforward in how they envision their culture/environment. -Yearly company trip to Barcelona, Spain! And chances to travel and work out of other offices.

      Cons

      None that I can think of!

      It is fantastic to see that you have enjoyed your experience working with us in Chicago! We are thrilled to hear that you are finding the SDR role so rewarding and that our career paths, product, and work-life balance are resonating with you. We are particularly pleased that you are embracing our in-real-life philosophy and hybrid model of working by taking advantage of the "work-from-anywhere" days. Our goal is to foster a culture where collaboration in the office and flexibility go hand-in-hand. It’s also great to know that the supportive coaching from your teammates is helping you reach your goals. Thank you for being such a passionate advocate for Perk. We look forward to seeing you grow with us for a long time to come!
