Pros

Developer friendly and flexible environment. Pays well and takes care of employees.

Most colleagues are very good, hard-working, fun, and easy to work with. Had a good family-like work-life there.

Follows latest technologies. Enjoyable projects. Can learn a lot.

Cons

Unfortunately, the entire Sydney product development was moved to Europe, with a funny and unconvincing time zone excuse, even though the Sydney team created the whole thing and did such wonderful and critical work.

Sydney executive management was not strong enough to retain Sydney teams.

Conflict in direction between Tripadvisor and Viator.

Tripadvisor stock options were a trap!
