Pros

Some nice people, Above average pay, Rocket ship: not sure which direction its headed but, it's going somewhere fast. Warm, comfortable socks.

Cons

Spent the past few months really depressed trying to work out if it's me or TripActions. Turns out its the latter. This is a company that sets frighteningly, sickeningly high expectations. The company is a bizarre mix of deluded tech bro's, burnt out grafters, and middle managers who just cover their own backsides. Everyone puts on their 'game face' before coming in. Which means, they change themselves to fit in. Toxic positivity is absolutely not a joke - you'll be forced to smile while selling your days, nights, weekeneds and youth to some travel app, or be forced out the door. And let's face it who is buying travel now anyway? Recent merger makes little sense from a business standpoint and culturally there is a gulf between the two that won't be fixed without a LOT of good people being axed for not conforming with the new diktat. The CRO and CEO have killed the culture here. Across the board. All teams. I consider myself a strong willed and driven person but by god if I could I wish I'd go back in time and never join. What a crushing experience. Please don't join this company unless you've previously made a deal with the devil. And even then, consider carefully.

Unprofessional behavior

Pros

Other than some of the perks, I will be truthful and say there’s not a lot of pros. I’m thankful for the experience and learned a lot of what not to do or take with me to my next employer.

Cons

Where to start! I had never planned to post anything here about TA, however almost a year later after they let go 350+ people, including myself, someone with a Director title sends me an email, to my personal email, asking for help/insight of my current employer to sell their product. I feel this is extremely unprofessional and shows truly how heartless this company can be. While working there the HQ always treated the staff in other offices like garbage. Never offered real support or made our office feel like it really belonged with the rest of the company. The “politics” involved are no joke. It’s a culture of who likes you and no growth if they don’t. While I worked there I poured everything I had to make our office fun, exciting and someplace you wanted to clock in. With empty promises and backstabbing from management and fellow coworkers it continued to become a very toxic place to work. It does make me laugh a little to see all these “amazing news” posts on LinkedIn knowing they beg employees to re-share and post these things to make it look as though everything is great when current employees continue tell me how bad it continues to get. Very thankful I no longer work there!

Pros

There are some great people here - extremely kind and hardworking. There were some cool perks, but those are all gone now.

Cons

I’ve never seen a culture deteriorate so quickly. Even before Covid-19, things were beginning to look grim. As soon as the new CRO was brought in, I knew the company was going to go downhill. He turned a once amazing culture, into one where fear and anxiety looms. Sales leaders who had been there for years and helped build the company, were soon shuffled to other teams and later unceremoniously fired, and replaced with individuals who didn’t care about their employees as people, and only saw them as the number above their head. The CRO doesn’t value enablement or SDR teams, and created the most insane comp structure for AEs that made it nearly impossible for them to make money. The entire executive team have become selfish and untrustworthy. I have heard the CEO on multiple occasions say expletives to employees when they ask him a question he doesn’t like - even in all-hands in front of the entire company. His hubris will be his downfall.
