Pros

- the company is growing and moves fast but resources are easily navigable and simple to use - great transparency collaboration (no silos!) - everyone agrees on KPIs and what it means to succeed - leaders are focused on shared successes rather than growing their teams and domains

Cons

- the company moves at breakneck speed, so not good for anyone looking for an easy ride - while onboarding is structured, there is no hand-holding

Pros

* It's a great brand * Great partners * Decent product with strong distribution

Cons

* Management style was heavily top-down, with decision-making concentrated among a small group of senior leaders. * This was the same when they were all working at KAYAK under the same group * I observed what I felt was preferential treatment of certain employees (notably of a certain ethnicity - IYKYK), which negatively impacted perceptions of fairness and inclusivity within the organisation. * The workplace environment could be highly stressful, and concerns raised by employees were not always addressed effectively. * Staff wellbeing, retention, and morale appeared to be ongoing challenges during my time with the company.
