Pros

Great benefits, pay okay, smart new office in Needham.

Cons

Don't be fooled by TripAdvisor, managers will make false promises regarding your career development. New employees who joined in the past 2 years are being paid far more than their colleagues who have been here longer. The best way to get a pay rise at TripAdvisor is to leave and then come back within 12 months and negotiate a higher salary and a sign-on bonus. Key executive roles take 12+ months to hire You get $10,000 if your referral is hired, but little bonus if you work hard Working from home is only allowed if you're friends with your boss

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.
