Pros
When I interviewed at KAYAK I was promised that it would be the best job I ever had - and after 10 years it still is. Here are some of the reasons why: - KAYAK provides an outstanding work environment that promotes open communication, and yet allows for concentrated focus when needed. - KAYAK promotes innovation from all employees including holding contests that challenge people to be creative and explore new ideas and ways of doing things. - KAYAK encourages individual growth with tuition reimbursement for those who want to attend classes, ability to attend conferences and providing some in-house training sessions. - KAYAK sponsors several employee events each year to encourage team bonding - KAYAK allows for an excellent work/life balance that includes flexible work hours and the much loved "summer hours" for those who like to start their summer weekend early. - KAYAK attracts and hires outstanding talent which brings in a steady stream of fresh ideas and challenges. We continue to try new ways of doing things which keeps us at the forefront of technology.
Cons
About the only negative comment I can come up regarding KAYAK is that we have grown to such a size that I don't know everybody by name.
