Pros
When I interviewed at KAYAK I was promised that it would be the best job I ever had - and after 10 years it still is. Here are some of the reasons why:
- KAYAK provides an outstanding work environment that promotes open communication, and yet allows for concentrated focus when needed.
- KAYAK promotes innovation from all employees including holding contests that challenge people to be creative and explore new ideas and ways of doing things.
- KAYAK encourages individual growth with tuition reimbursement for those who want to attend classes, ability to attend conferences and providing some in-house training sessions.
- KAYAK sponsors several employee events each year to encourage team bonding
- KAYAK allows for an excellent work/life balance that includes flexible work hours and the much loved "summer hours" for those who like to start their summer weekend early.
- KAYAK attracts and hires outstanding talent which brings in a steady stream of fresh ideas and challenges. We continue to try new ways of doing things which keeps us at the forefront of technology.
Cons
About the only negative comment I can come up regarding KAYAK is that we have grown to such a size that I don't know everybody by name.
