Pros

1. Fun Holiday parties and happy hour events 2. Hard-working and smart ICs

Cons

If you are currently interviewing or thinking about joining TripActions, I hope you read all the honest and real reviews before making a decision. I worked at TripActions through multiple Leadership and organizational changes. TripActions USED to be amazing, full of optimistic and hard-working individuals including Leadership teams. In the last 2 years, everything has changed for the worse and it will not get any better until the Leadership team changes completely. None of the Leadership team cares about you, only about how you can make them successful. 1. There is too much unnecessary work, without true direction which leads to constant changes (the frequency is not normal for a start-up of this size). 2. There is no transparency around peoples' feedback and opinions. We take employee surveys every few months but we don't actually present or talk about these survey results. They are just for show and to check a box. 3. I understand that TripActions is a high-growth business that is trying to IPO, but it is crazy how revenue is the only thing that they care about. Currently, I work at a highly-profitable company and the culture and approach around increasing revenue is SO different, healthy, and collaborative. 4. There is no collaboration between teams. It's a culture of pointing fingers around problems and turning a blind eye to things that need improvement. A 'not my problem' attitude across the company. I am not saying that TripActions is the WORST company to work for (believe me, I have worked for more toxic companies), but it's 2022. You have the RIGHT to be choosy and have options. If you care about making an impact, mental health, diversity, and belonging, TripActions is not for you. If you are the type of person who is just a shark, only wants to make money, and don't really have a life outside of work, then TripActions would be a good fit. Honestly, there is nothing wrong with that either, it's more about understanding who you are and who you aspire to be in your career.

Pros

Competitive compensation and strong benefits package. The coworkers and frontline teams are one of the company’s greatest strengths many are incredibly hardworking, supportive, and committed to helping both customers and teammates succeed.

Cons

Significant operational gaps continue to impact efficiency and employee experience. Reporting systems and workforce planning frequently feel disconnected from the realities of day-to-day operations. Employees and leaders are often expected to be accountable for metrics without reliable reporting or clear guidance on how those metrics are measured. Workload distribution can feel inconsistent, creating an environment where some teams and managers become overextended while others are underutilized. This contributes to burnout, frustration, and a lack of confidence in operational decision-making.
