Tripadvisor Work Experiences

Great Culture and People

Software Engineer Intern • Former Employee

Pros: Extremely talented and passionate people, who you'll be working with at the company. Perks such as free lunch every day of the week and an office gym are fantastic too.

Cons: In my opinion, there is a high degree of power distance at the company that management should address.

A good company with no direction

Software Engineer • Current Employee

Pros: Everyone here at FlipKey is fun to work with. I work on the engineering team, and everyone gets along. Younger engineers are guided by the senior engineers. Everyone is knowledgeable and willing to help. The benefits we get from being part of TripAdvisor are solid. Great office culture.

Cons: Salaries are average and not tied to performance. There is no recognition when someone goes above and beyond. There is zero direction from management. The avenue for career advancement is narrow, if it exists at all. Lately, we just follow our competitors with no focus on innovation.

Flexible But Muddled Engineering Environment

Software Engineer • Former Employee

Boston, Massachusetts, United States

Pros: Vibrant culture and engaged employees create a positive working environment. Demographically very diverse, especially for a tech company. Neat product. Fantastic benefits. Great industry.

Cons: The tech stack was overly complicated and chained to technical debt. Tech practices were not terribly sophisticated; code reviews and unit tests were just getting some traction. The software process was very informal and kind of disorganized.
