Pros

I can decide myself which technologies I use together with my teammates because we all get the trust that we do the right thing for the product we work on. I like that I can try out new things every day, and I learn a lot.

There is a very good, inspiring environment because there are different events offered to all trivago employees, like internal and external Hackathons or internal academy sessions with very skilled people in tech, but also not in tech.

What I also like is that I can rely on my colleagues coming from different places in the world (management included) because even the c-level managers extend their circle of trust to everyone. Egos or status are not important in that culture. I don't know many companies that do this to that extent.

Cons

Due to the fact that employees get a lot of freedom for their own creativity, they have to learn how to manage themselves and set the right priorities. The company supports this with workshops, but sometimes it's challenging for me personally.
