      Great place to work if you don't mind a circus - Software Engineer KAYAK Employee Review

      Pros

      Great benefits; 6 weeks paid leave, birthday off, lunch 3 times a week and breakfasts, not the worst remuneration package for software engineers in Berlin

      Cons

      There are two schools of thought at KAYAK - those who want to work on sustainable, innovative projects with a focus on long term benefits and those who wants to work on the short term "throw-away" features and frequent A/B testing. Management tends to be more focused on the short term features and doesn't allow teams with longer term goals to flourish and show what they can do, and the company really suffers for it.

      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
