Pros

- Intelligent, fun-loving people, many of whom have been here for years and obviously feel passionate about the product - Flat org - senior management is very accessible and people take on things as needed, regardless of level - Recognition when you do good work with timely feedback on how to continue improving - Great work-life balance - Brand new office in Cambridge with views of the Charles River, outside terraces to be enjoyed in warmer weather - commute is easy - weekly social gatherings and quarterly outings (e.g. ski trip in March) - The color orange

Cons

- Teams in different offices means you have to work harder at staying in sync, but manageable - Chaotic sometimes, but that's part of the fun. Not for those that prefer everything to go 'just so'

Pros

One of the best things about KAYAK is that I feel like it genuinely cares about its employees. The CEO is always dropping by to see how things are, the perks of the office are great. Furthermore you really get a sense that people care about what you're doing. Managers talk to you like peers and treat you with respect and value your input. Easily the best company I've worked for so far. The location of the Cambridge office is also fantastic, you're right in the center of the tech hub.

Cons

Like most companies, if it's crunch time, expect to put in quite a few hours. Wish there was a better feel of how to move up/around the company.
