Pros

Talented people work here. Genuine interest in improving products, helping "customers" (hotel operators).

Cons

Issues with compensation policies throughout my employment. First was not informed during offer process that health coverage doesn't start until you're a few months in (used ACA to cover myself). Then even though I was prepared for 401k to start (also "late" at month 3), they didn't enable my account until I brought it up with HR. Then, I learned that because I started late in the year, I basically missed out on 4 months of merit increase. If you want a job here, make sure you bug HR about everything they should be doing and only start between Jan and Sept 30 if you don't want their merit increase policy to screw you over (if you start after Sept 30, your next merit increase cycle doesn't start until the following year, if you start before that you get a pro-rated cycle).

Thank you for providing your feedback. Our benefits waiting periods are pretty standard among most companies, although we can understand that waiting can be inconvenient. We go to great lengths to communicate these timelines during the offer process and in our first day orientation, and we are disappointed to hear that this was not effectively communicated to you. Despite your initial timing set-backs, we hope that you can appreciate our very comprehensive Total Rewards package for full-time associates that includes: market priced compensation, incentive compensation and/or star awards, paid time off (vacation, personal, sick, family leave, volunteer leave), medical, dental, vision, flexible and dependent care spending accounts, paid parking, fitness subsidy, wellness programs, TeleDoc, life and disability insurance, 401(k)/Roth 401(k), health savings account (HSA), financial management education, legal services plan, hotel discounts, back-up child and elder care, pet insurance, commuter benefits, adoption assistance, Exceptional Performance (EXP) Awards, promotion ceremonies, service awards, associate/leadership education & development, project mobility, job shadowing, mentoring program, on-boarding, coaching, associate services - vendor discounts, social events… and more!

Pros

There is lots of time off, and very interesting projects. It's a great environment for learning new technologies

Cons

The job can be very high stress, with the frequent releases. Long hours are occasionally necessary for hitting deadlines.
