Pros

Other than free drinks, snacks and really cool work sites, nothing.

Cons

I know this a great company and has the ratings for it. Clearly this is not with the Customer Experience Dept. It was the worst customer service job I ever had. They say the training was re-constructed for more hands on but if you're ready to just be thrown into the fire than go for it. The leadership is poor, they have some helpers in ramp that actually want to help and others that make you feel like a complete idiot and unwanted. This is definitely not a great first impression. Like I mentioned I know this is a great company but just steer far, far away from the Customer Experience Dept!

Pros

HomeAway technology stack has come a long way. One of the most appealing things about working here is the fact that you get to work with cutting edge technology. In addition, the engineering team are super smart, so working here is a great networking opportunity too.

Cons

Company is getting pretty big, and if you end up on the wrong team, you may find it that it is difficult for you to be impactful.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a thoughtful review. We love a good tech stack as much as the next tech company and it’s great to hear you enjoy working on ours. Our Data Science and Engineering teams are so important to the success of HomeAway. You’re right though, we are growing rapidly. If someone finds themselves on a team that doesn’t quite feel right, we highly encourage internal movement and having a conversation with your manager.
