too good to be true

Since the company is so large, there is a lot of bureaucracy and not a lot of transparency re: who is working on what

Because TA is not a fledgling company anymore it cannot move as nimbly as smaller companies.

Unsure if the ‘manager’ is an actual job or just a job title on the email salutation... lack of product knowledge and support from hierarchy is the most heartbreaking thing one could encounter at work. I mean benefits are great, but in the end of the day we wake up in the morning to commit to our work in hopes that what we do make a difference to someone out there. You could see favoritism and covering of one another across the department and many intelligent talents had no choice but to leave as anyone who’s tried to voice out for change were shut down each time. Not a healthy organization... if your ‘in’ that’s great, but if your not... then all the best to you. No career development, no genuine appreciation, communication are not transparent from top down. Their policies and guidelines simply does not care about the owners and members. It’s just so sad to see that they’ve closed ears to new suggestions. The website bugs will take FOREVER to fix as well. If they don’t change, I’m not sure if they could keep up with this growing online industry. One of the company motto “speed wins” truly describes it all. Just do it fast and do it more, no one cares about the quality (but of course they say they do).

Been with Tripadvisor since it was at Needham. It was a very positive experience the first couple of years, but since then, things have been deteriorating. It could be because of stock falling, from high above $100 down to $30 some at some point, Tripadvisor has become more tense and cautious. The motto the last few years have been 'cutting overhead'. That so-called 'overhead' leads to following effects: team downsized to half (many lefts but not many new fillings) but double up the works, snacks got cut down (even got rid of the paper cup on all of the upper floors), a handful of reorgs.
When I started working at my current position, I realized the culture at Tripadvisor has not been better either. For one, Tripadvisor doesn't invest much in the employee. There weren't much of the training. For example, unless it's directly applied to the individual existing works, request for attending conference most likely will get turned down. Over the last 6 years, I haven't got to attend one single conference. Transparency at Trip hasn't been at it's best compared to other companies. For instance, employees have submitted questions but never get answered. At townhall, there is generally only a few minutes for addressing a few questions. But one thing that has gone the wrong way above all is the management. I've literally witnessed company letting the good employee go instead of working to keep them. If management wants you to go, they will make things difficult for you so you can quit yourself. If management thinks a team does not add value to their own agenda, they let the team slowly dying on its own instead. There are good management, so it depends on which you joined, but CoreX eng management is not one
