Pros

KAYAK is great technology company to work for, so many talented people to learn from. They offer many perks (30 day holiday, 1 day off on your birthday, free lunch & breakfast, company pension, many team events, friday beer), in a beautiful office well located. You really feel valued and trusted here.

Cons

There is quite a turn over in employees, with people coming, leaving and of course people being let go, which sucks just like in any other company. Also, if you want to grow here, you need to fight for it (among your own team too).

Pros

- Super smart team to learn from and very welcoming people - All voices are heard and ideas can be elevated and tested - Positive environment where many people have been with the company a long time and truly care about its success - Sporadic work travel and offsites - Free lunch in office 2 days a week and bagels, snacks, and drinks all the time - In office gym - Parking commuter benefit

Cons

- Reporting tool is specific to the company and can be a bit of a learning curve to figure out, but again, there are really great people to help you! - Multiple offices throughout the world, where team members are spread across or fully remote, so its rare that the entire team would be in one office together for collaboration - No train commuter benefit to coincide with parking benefit
