Pros

At trivago, there's a democracy of ideas; i.e., all ideas are judged on their own merits, not on the speaker. A junior dev can come up with an idea for the business, pitch it to leadership, and champion the idea.

trivago also cares about the development of its employees and invests in them through:

  • Trainings
  • Mentorship
  • Access to a library
  • Health and wellness programs
  • And more.

Learning is a big part of trivago culture, not just for the employees but for the company as a whole. There's a genuine culture of feedback and learning from the feedback.

The company is very international, and people here are generally very friendly. Work-life balance is also really great and works well for parents who need to occasionally leave the office or work from home to attend to their kids.

In the past, the company focused on hiring younger people who were just looking for a good time, but over time, the company has matured, along with its employees.

Cons

I've heard that the pay for non-engineers is not great. I can't confirm that because I'm an engineer.

Also, things change rapidly, so if you don't like a dynamic environment, then this may not be the company for you.
