Pros

HomeAway has a very nice office experience for software engineers. The teams use modern technology and don't have to deal with too much technical debt.

Cons

The company does not retain important hires. Regardless the reason for other departures, mine is simply because working for HomeAway is a dead end job. You can learn more as a software engineer working for an uncertain startup in 1 year than you can in 3 at HomeAway. However you would certainly feel at home if all you want is a paycheck and to be a code monkey.

Pros

- Very intelligent pool of people to work with - Free breakfast on Fridays - Thorough training before you get on the floor - The decor of each location

Cons

- Poor Compensation. The pay does NOT match the level of responsibility and/or daily tasks - Highly suggested overtime each week w/ no option of working from home - No work/life balance (i.e. long hours during the week + weekends) - High stress work volume - High stress work environment - Low raises or none at all - Upper management totally disconnected from their customer service departments - Not different than any other place you've probably worked at already
