Pros
I've only been here a few months but Hopper is already shaping up to be one of the best places I've ever worked. 1/ Awesome Colleagues - super engaged, fun to hang with, incredibly helpful (especially to new hires), incredibly committed to providing the best travel experience out there. 2/ Awesome Mission - Hopper's mission of 'making travel less painful, less stressful, more rewarding and more financially achievable' really resonates with me because I love to travel; I actually use the product I work on all the time. And to top it all off, for every booking on Hopper, the company pays for the planting of enough trees to offset the carbon footprint of your itinerary. It's pretty incredible to be working at a company that actually is taking climate change seriously and doing something about it that's more than just a volunteer day on some random spring afternoon. Hopper is actually **aligning business success with saving the planet**. 3/ Awesome Time - Hopper has hit its stride. We are growing hand-over-fist across the board. We added 100 employees and many millions to our run rate in just the 3 short months I've been here, and it is clear that we're just getting started.
Cons
This is a fast-paced, late-stage, hyper-growth start-up. Things move fast and while I myself have not experienced anything adverse as a result, I can see how this environment might not be for everyone. Somewhat relatedly, it is definitely clear that senior management has internalized a lot of the criticism it's gotten on Glassdoor reviews and has made a lot of changes in their wake.
