Pros: Trivago provides great learning opportunities and gives a lot of ownership and accountability. They also provide significant flexibility in multiple aspects for its employees, in terms of: * Working hours * Attending personal commitments and balancing work/private life * Holidays * A reasonable hybrid policy The company also puts a lot of emphasis into making the workplace enjoyable through other benefits, such as a great campus, plenty of cultural events and amazing parties, supporting sporting events, providing free snacks & drinks in the office, budget for training, attending conferences, and regular monthly team events. I've also always appreciated the company's general attitude & approach to learning through failure. Above all, the main factor that has kept me for 10+ years at Trivago are the fantastic work colleagues. The vast majority of colleagues I've worked with over the years are incredibly smart, motivated, respectful, fun, and genuine people. On top of that, the high level of diversity throughout the company makes it even more enjoyable.

Cons: While changes are necessary to remain competitive in the travel industry, there have been times over the years where it became a bit exhausting and discouraging to have such frequent reshuffling of teams, projects, and strategies. This varies a lot per team, but some parts of the company still feel as though they haven't fully transitioned away from more of a start-up mindset, where things are lacking a bit in terms of structure, processes, and documentation.

Pros: Nice corporate culture and work-life balance. Very friendly and professional team. You can bring your ideas.

Cons: Pretty much unnecessary meetings and Zoom calls, goals planning, and stuff like this for developers.

Pros: You can learn at trivago whatever you are interested in. The company supports me a lot with my personal growth. Doing an internal reorientation from engineering to product development was without barriers and a transparent process where everyone got the same chances. I have never experienced a company that was so supportive and talent-oriented. I like that everyone gets a personal mentor who reflects feedback from peers with you together, which helps a lot in learning more about myself.

Cons: There are a couple of ego-driven people I sometimes have to deal with. But it's not the majority, and I also observe they have a hard time in that respectful and multicultural environment. 360-degree feedbacks should be more often than twice a year, and recruiting needs some adjustment to better identify who has the right mindset and who does not. trivago believes in trust, authenticity, and strong collaboration between teams and every teammate. Spreading this to every single team across 1,600 employees is a challenge the company faces at the moment, and there are frequent pilot projects to improve based on employer feedback.
