      KAYAK - i18n - Great company and department to work in!

      Pros

      I worked in the i18n department for over a year and I have to say the experience was fantastic overall. There was a lot of work to do, but given KAYAK's half start-up, half mid-sized company, you can see the impact of your work first-hand, with little bureaucracy, fewer meetings than most companies out there and a great, friendly atmosphere. There are plenty opportunities for growth and development, both in-team and across departments.

      Cons

      Nothing comes to my mind. I really loved it there and only left as I was commuting from another city.

      Best place I have ever worked

      Pros

      For Kayak, people is first. The way you help your team on a day a day basis, the way you share your experience with other teams to make things run smoother and contribute to a common goal is the main KPI for the company. They spend a lot of money and effort making people comfortable at work. Everyone is treated as a grown up, you can manage your time and workload and no one is going to control you as long as you are responsible and meet the deadlines. The information inside the company flows as it should be, the communication is transparent and everyone is always aware of what is going on, what are the goals of the company... The management is always there to answer any question and they are reachable. One of the things that I like the most is that here work and fun come together. We can work or brainstorm while playing video games or ping pong during working ours or just chill at the sofa for a while. Also, on fridays there is a social event for people to mingle. It feels like home.

      Cons

      Nothing yet. There is always space for improvement, but I can't think of anything like really important.

      Excellent work-environment

      Pros

      KAYAK offers a very dynamic environment, crazy perks (all the ones listed in the job descriptions are real are more come in every year) and the company's atmosphere is the right balance between work-driven and chill. Great business outlooks. Probably the best work environment I've known in 15 years of professional activity.

      Cons

      KAYAK tries to be a start-up too hard, meaning communication can be a bit chaotic at times.
