Pros

Everyone is incredibly smart. It's fun to work in the travel industry since everyone loves to travel, and it's even better if you can help people save money! Awesome state of the art office with lots of perks, outings, social events, etc.

Cons

It can be hard to find out what else is happening within the company. The business division is in Stamford, so it's hard to communicate with those folks at times. The Berlin office is our largest office which also creates some communication issues.

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
