Pros
- A lot of great people. KAYAK runs pretty lean, so having the right people on the right project is very important. Lots of responsibility. - KAYAK cares about it's employees. There are great opportunities to learn - both about what other departments are working on and seeking further education in your field outside of the office. You have to be proactive, but education is in the budget and available to all. - A bunch of perks like a snacks, social hours, company parties and events. - You'll work a lot and be challenged, but you don't have to do all of it chained to your desk. - Best job I've had as a female employee. I feel respected and treated equally among my colleagues. It's about good work, solving problems and getting stuff done.
Cons
- Sometimes has a big company feel when projects take longer then they should or get sidetracked by more cooks in the kitchen. - Manager quality is highly variable - but getting better.
