Pros

I work in one of KAYAK's APAC office - Global company with a startup culture - Most colleagues are easy going and very willing to share ideas and teach - New things to learn every day about travel and tech - Management style is quite flat, lots of lateral mobility (roles, responsibilities, locations) - Encourage work-life balance - Teams are quite international - Able to work with colleagues from various global offices - Free snacks and drinks at the office - A good amount of holidays and allows working from home on occassions - Generous tuition allowance so you can sign up for courses - Reasonable pay

Cons

There is not many cons but a few things to keep in mind - Since the work culture is quite flexible, you have to be self-discipline to make sure you get things done - While having good lateral mobility, upward mobility and its requirement can be unclear at times - There could be resources constraints at certain teams and things might not move as fast as you wish - You have to take ownership and be self-driven to make things happen and be bold to raise ideas backed with data, in other words, you cannot wait for others to tell you what to do - Since we work with international colleagues on a daily basis, you likely need good English to communicate

Pros

There is a lot of autonomy given to employees at every level. Senior management really encourages and promotes the company values and wants all employees to be bold in their approaches. Regardless if you're an engineer or an accountant, if you have an idea you're encouraged to run with it. People who work here are extremely passionate about KAYAK and travel and that really creates an environment you want to go to every day. We have all the tech-startup type benefits, but the people who work here really make it unique and exciting place to be.

Cons

If you don't like moving fast and change, this probably isn't the place for you.
