Fantastic place to work. Creative people. Focused but relax attitude of the organization towards it's aims and deliverables. Helpful and fun loving people. Ramping up on new technologies recently. Growing greatly post the Priceline acquisition.
Non work related : In the heart of downtown San Francisco. A billion food places around. Great compensation and flexible work hours. No one is overworked (except occasionally close to deadlines)

If you don't live in the city then you gotta take the BART/Caltrain. Parking around is extremely expensive. (I have heard that) annual increments are smaller. Little space for vertical growth. Some technologies that are being used are old, but they know that and are working to upgrade.

* Management style was heavily top-down, with decision-making concentrated among a small group of senior leaders.
* This was the same when they were all working at KAYAK under the same group
* I observed what I felt was preferential treatment of certain employees (notably of a certain ethnicity - IYKYK), which negatively impacted perceptions of fairness and inclusivity within the organisation.
* The workplace environment could be highly stressful, and concerns raised by employees were not always addressed effectively.
* Staff wellbeing, retention, and morale appeared to be ongoing challenges during my time with the company.
