Pros

KAYAK really cares about its employees. Great benefits and vacation policy, lots of outings, weekly lunches and weekly beer hours all of which give us opportunity to know each other outside of work -- and that makes for better working relationships. Very approachable senior management (at least on the tech side, where I work) where nobody has an office. Great office and location in Cambridge. Laser focus on making data-driven decisions. All this attracts great people. Finally, we're working on lots of cool things and business is great! I am pretty far into my career and this is the best job I've had.

Cons

Lots of things going on so hard to get a sense of overall strategy.

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
