Pros

- Office environment is amazing and has grown so much since joining the team - Success is celebrated as team, and individuals are always recognized for their unique achievements - Anyone in the team is willing to help you at a moment’s notice both in the LATAM office and in other KAYAK offices - When it comes to having to leave the office or be unavailable such as being sick, emergency’s or planned vacations managers and the company are pretty understanding -Junior people can learn from patient and helpful more senior employees (i.e.) VPs and Directors helping everyone from Interns to Account managers whenever necessary to help complete tasks and improve processes - Close exposure and open environment for discussions with everyone in the company (even occasionally the CEO) which definitely lets people know they are heard and respected -Great paid vacation benefits, Great office location, Unlimited snacks, refreshments, bi-weekly happy hours, engaging Quarterly offsite summits, relaxed environment, no dress code, and good sense of humor and community in the office (people for the most part genuinely care about one another’s wellbeing)

Cons

- Being a small office for a large geographical region employee are required to wear many hats and sometimes work on ad hoc projects or urgent tasks in order to “keep the needle moving”, but this provides tremendous growth and learning opportunities. - Must be ready to adapt and learn quickly while keeping an open mind while working in Latin America

Pros

We have a great culture with a work hard play hard attitude. It is really nice to be part of a team, where we challenge each other, support one another, and most important of all, recognize everyone's efforts and contributions. The whole team is results oriented, we move fast, and are not afraid to try new things. It is great to see the impact we are making in more than 10+ countries. p.s. - free snacks, lattes and frequent team outings.

Cons

We are growing extremely fast, so we all wear many hats. It is however getting much better day by day, as we hire and onboard new folks to the team.

Pros

Business is highly profitable. Beautiful offices. Brand name great on resume. There is not much else to say in this section.

Cons

little thought given to employee development. Being a sub to a giant that is PL, there is too much emphasis on profit over employee growth/well-being . Also, there is an annoying sense of panic over Google Flights taking away market share from them. It all adds up to a throw-others-under the bus culture. If you feel like you must have them on your resume, do it. But if you feel like working in a genuinely collaborative environment, looks else where.
