Pros

- we have a great and motivated Team - We have the Chance to work with international Teams that give you the Chance to get to know different cultures and which makes work more interesting - HomeAway is very employee oriented; the employees are treated with respect - We have a great culture - We have very nice, modern Office space in all Locations, espccially in Frankfurt :-)

Cons

- we have the challenge of a matrix organisation which means that several employees have remote Managers at different Locations instead of direct line Managers at the same Location to whom they can go directly and have face-to-face Meetings - Due to the Matrix organisation many Meetings are necessary to ensure that employees are on the same page

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.
