Pros: Work-life balance, remote working flexibility, good pay, challenging problems, recognition, and career growth opportunities.

Cons: Can feel siloed at times; problems less interesting technically.

Pros: The actual job roles available in Oxford are pretty good, but there is a massive disconnect between benefits and office facilities in the UK and the US. Bupa medical and Cigna dental cover.

Cons: US employees have a mass of discounts and perks available which aren’t available to UK staff, e.g. flight and hotel discounts, IATA discount card, and loads of local discounts. Employer pension contribution is only 5%. Holiday entitlement is only 25 days per year, with no option to buy additional days like most other tech companies (especially in Europe). Snacks used to be really good and on par with other offices but have now been reduced to chicken feed style dispensers to save money. The Oxford office is looking very tired compared to London, and most staff think it’s because it’s going to close soon.

Pros: Interned with Tripadvisor in El Segundo, LA. The teams here mostly work on Tripadvisor Experiences and viator.com. Some of the smartest people I have worked with. Great opportunities to build a strong career. You get to work on things that you are passionate about. Interesting tech stack. Everyone is enthusiastic and passionate about the work they do. People are very friendly.

Cons: It is a small office, which is both good and bad.
