Pros

Good Company Culture, and colleagues are friendly and mature enough to work closely together. Company benefits are fantastics. Strong sales-team members.

Cons

Poor Management in APAC Business Listing, no guidance, no vision, no direction, and only one way communication which management did not take any action for every challenges that sales person feedback to them. Sales Organization is led by Regional Sales manager who did not make any single call and not knowing the product and the market condition. Sales Structured is very un-clear internally and externally. Favoritism is too obvious. Management did not protect every single deal that you bring in. And in fact we always encounter lost some of the deals to 3rd party reseller who can offer more discount to the client. Management keep hiring new sales person even the market is bad and saturated. No career growth in the company, you will be doing the same thing for years and many years. Commission pay-out always delayed and happened many times, and they don't see the urgency and importance to pay commission in time. what a joke, this is sales organization, every sales person are rely on commission on their living! If you resign from the company - no holding back from the company, basically they will just accept and did not try to retain the employee. - just keep hiring new staff.

Pros

The people you get to work with are genuinely great, and the work-life balance remains fairly solid. In the past, the company attracted top-tier engineering talent from the most reputable tech firms, and the expectations were high but rewarding. A lot of that collaborative culture still exists among the engineers. You will be surrounded by capable individuals who want to do good work.

Cons

The company has been battered by unresolved structural issues over the last decade. The core meta-search business was crippled when Google altered its algorithms to prioritize its own travel products, effectively choking off the organic traffic Tripadvisor depended on. Combined with the impact of COVID-19, leadership tried launching new products to escape this SEO reliance, but those attempts consistently missed the mark. Now, the rapid adoption of LLMs is delivering another severe blow. Users no longer need traditional meta-search to plan travel. The core Tripadvisor product has essentially become a legacy cash cow, with the Experiences division (Viator) being the primary engine keeping the business afloat. Following the departure of the former CEO, thousands of highly skilled employees have left through attrition or ongoing restructuring. Layoffs have become a grim constant, happening once or twice a year. Even if you manage to avoid the cuts, the compensation structure is no longer competitive for the tech industry, and RSUs have virtually dried up. Because of the abysmal direction and the very high chance you won't survive the next round of looming layoffs, I strongly recommend avoiding this company as a new hire.
