Process
The process began with the typical call with the recruiter. This was followed by a call with a Director. From there, I moved on to the onsite interview.
The entire process was streamlined and friendly. It was probably the best interview I've ever had.
Everybody was clear on what they were looking for and asked relevant questions.

It wasn't the old, good TripAdvisor anymore

Pros: The company still has a good legacy and inclusive culture. People you work with are very nice, and you don't have much pressure. Some working objects are super cool.
Cons: The new leadership team is a brutal machine. They brought a lot of political stuff into the company, and the whole atmosphere is changing top-down.
5.0
A great company that strives to help both its customers and its employees

Pros: Great benefits/perks (shuttle, free lunch - not sure what will happen to this post-COVID, gym), good pay, friendly people. The building is beautiful and has lots of open spaces to work. It's a positive environment. Management does a good job overall (e.g., the CEO took no pay for the rest of the year following the onset of the pandemic).
Cons: Two reorganizations and significant layoffs took place while I was there, mainly due to COVID, but I think Tripadvisor will bounce back.

Pros: Flexible, nice benefits, great company in the greater Boston area.
Nice free lunch with different choices.
Commute is good, right next to 95.
Cons: Not so much, but I think the software infrastructure could be better if we spent more time improving it, instead of focusing on revenue.
