Pros

The people! The constant interaction with employees who are not only knowledgeable but willing to challenge you to learn more is exciting. The "speed wins" attitude is clearly visible and implemented within the culture, one which allows for mistakes and truly views them as learning opportunities. The flexibility to manager personal appointments, time off, and working home is extremely helpful and worth more than any dollar amount.

Cons

The fast growth rate has made inter-department communication suffer in that you are not as aware of what other teams are working on or have in the pipeline.

Pros

The free lunches and summer Fridays! No there are better reasons but those are pretty good. The site is a great product and the culture promotes innovation. People like to get projects moving and make things happen which can be challenging, but yet very satisfying.

Cons

People work A LOT. They like stay "lean" and as a result, people work more than other places. This mentality also puts a major strain on engineering and creative resources. Hiring can be a bit slow which doesn't help the resources issue. Also, people can have a big head about TA which means that it can be slightly unfriendly.

Pros

Web 2.0 in Boston, beats Monster.com and other local opportunities. Decent work/life balance for employees with children. Well known web site with a good reputation within travel and Internet industries. Pays above market rates. Growing with opportunities for lateral movement.

Cons

"What have you done for me lately?" - contributions are not valued, only expected (despite management rhetoric). Slightly out of touch with latest technology trends. On a day to day basis, little to do with travel industry - could be selling widgets and most employees are not passionate about travel per se. Crummy commute to Newton. Slower moving than expected (despite management rhetoric). Marketing/sales driven company. "Old" office culture, does not feel like a typical high energy Internet place to work.
