      Pros

      I've worked across multiple companies/industries in my 10-year career, and this is by far the most fulfilling company i've worked for. Employees are treated at smart, independent contributors who are encourage to solve problems with scalable solutions. My synthesis of complaints is most around not enough guidance and training. These are real concerns, particularly for people out of undergrad or unsure about their career direction. For people enjoy travel and technology, this place is just about heaven. The compensation is outstanding for how much fun I have at work. As a frequent user of Glassdoor, I'm usually wary of "fanboy" reviews like these, but this is honestly how I feel 1 year in.

      Cons

      Kayak is a fairly small company with a 500 person headcount. Unlike large global corporations, this potentially limits lateral move options and definitely limits geographic options.

      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
