Pros
HomeAway is an amazing place to work and offers incredible opportunities for young professionals. This was my first job out of college and in the time I've been here we've acquired numerous companies, gone public, purchased super bowl ads and much more - all of which have provided invaluable experience for my career. While these milestones are all in the past now, the company is showing no signs of slowing down and because we're still relatively small, you feel as though your contributions really can make in impact on the business. As for the day-to-day, the culture in the office is absolutely work-hard, play-hard. We have plenty of happy hours, parties, etc. to balance out the long list of to-dos and aggressive deadlines.
Cons
We're definitely working through the growing pains of becoming a larger company and having to institute more process, which makes us feel less nimble, at times.
