Pros

HomeAway is a fast pace, high growth e-commerce company. It still has the size of a large start-up while benefiting from the financial health & strength of a more mature company. At an individual level this means that there are many opportunities for one to grow and have an impact. Genuinely love the way our leadership team makes itself truly approachable, to either explain the way forward or listen to new ideas. A good illustration is our "table talks" every friday, where all our leadership team is present for teams to engage. Last but not least, the team and company culture: open, work-hard play -hard, supportive.. Pretty much what you would expect from any other large internet company, but certainly worth calling out. I would strongly encourage to join if interested in fast growth environments.

Cons

Must be ready to work under strong pressure and with a certain level of ambiguity. Again to be expected in such environment.

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.
