For people which are enthusiastic acheivers kayak.com is right place. You will get many opportunities to express your skills and will get challenged to do interesting things. Your acheivements will be awarded and recognized. Culture is awesome, kayak.com puts a lot of effort into hireing right people so you will be sourouned with great personalities and also will be able to learn from coworkers.

Cons

Not to much I can think of. Maybe to much freedom of resource access could be a minus, but I didn't notice any problems that arose from that

Pros

- Super smart team to learn from and very welcoming people - All voices are heard and ideas can be elevated and tested - Positive environment where many people have been with the company a long time and truly care about its success - Sporadic work travel and offsites - Free lunch in office 2 days a week and bagels, snacks, and drinks all the time - In office gym - Parking commuter benefit

Cons

- Reporting tool is specific to the company and can be a bit of a learning curve to figure out, but again, there are really great people to help you! - Multiple offices throughout the world, where team members are spread across or fully remote, so its rare that the entire team would be in one office together for collaboration - No train commuter benefit to coincide with parking benefit
