Pros

The people who work here are awesome - for the most part at least - and the offices/ facilities are amazing. There's breakfast provided every Friday morning while the C-Team presents and shares company and industry updates.

Cons

Management is unapproachable and HR is there to protect them while disregarding the needs of the regular employee. Growth potential is limited by how much brown-nosing you do and how good of friends you are with upper management. If you're looking to grow within the company you will be sorely disappointed as they'd rather take a risk on an unknown rather than train current employees.

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.
