Pros
From day 1 you really feel you've joined the HomeAway family rather than just a company. The onboarding process is very comprehensive and makes it easy to fit in. The office culture is laid-back yet professional and the top managers are easy to contact when needed. The atmosphere is a mix between the young start-up that the company was only a few years back and the industry leader it has become. As a result, there is always something exciting happening, within or outside office hours! Also, this is a truly international company, meaning that you get to work with people from all our offices around the world, which is always an opportunity to learn something new.
Cons
Learning how to work in the matrix can sometimes proves challenging and you can lose some energy and time trying to identify who is leading the decision process. Add remote management and different time zones to the mix and being flexible and reactive is at times difficult.
