Great culture, minimum bureaucracy

Pros

*Feels like a flat org structure- can talk to people at every level easily *Very few useless meetings *An actual merit-based promotion structure. A small tech department means there aren't lengthy and formalized promotion tracks, but the upside is that high-performing employees are usually rewarded or promoted faster than the typical annual cadence.

Cons

*The employees that do best here are self-driven and impact-hungry. The flip side is that it is not as rewarding to "coast" or to go with the flow. If you want lots of mentorship, you have to proactively acquire it.

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.
