Good company for engineers
Good company for engineers
TripAdvisor's hiring process is very selective, and they hire top-notch engineers from top schools (MIT, Harvard). However, TA also has a "no a**hole" policy.
It's a very technical environment. The CEO has a software background. It's a data-driven company.
Very good perks:
- Free catered lunches 3 days a week
- Soda and snacks
- Pizza
- Gym on site
- Mac laptops
- Tech talks every Wednesday
Good compensation.
Flexible hours; could work from home.
The company promotes from within.
Hectic environment; some people put in more than 60 hours/week.
"Speed wins" mantra doesn't always work.
The communication between the teams could be improved.
Huge code base, and sometimes difficult to maintain.
