Pros

HomeAway is in the midst of a full expansion - acquisitions, e-commerce, migrations, etc that gives the chance to be part of many critical projects and launches with a Global impact on Business and operations. This is unique and certainly brings an additional dimension and challenges to my personal experience. Also I appreciate the Top Management communication and transparency on all upcoming changes, sucesses, etc.

Cons

This fast growing and challenging environement might have some contraints though. Indeed it is sometimes complicated to step back, improve, get some training and think about our personal growth.

Fast growing, great culture, plenty to do

Pros

- Growing very fast: you can't get bored easily, there is a lot to do, if you chose to - International team: WW HQ in Austin, EMEA HQ in Switzerland, offices in Paris, London, Frankfurt, Singapore, Sydney... - Great product to work for: working for a vacation product is actually fun and inspiring (if you care, of course...) - The mindset is right: very few "smart but too much ego" managers; while the company sometimes tend to re-invent the wheel, the mindset still is about listening everyone's view and trying new options and ideas - C-Team cares about the company: the leaders of the company obviously care about the destiny of the company, and keep in very good contact with all offices - Casual culture: it's in the DNA since day 1, and has remained so since then. - Nice offices: never dull, nor anonymous - Frequent parties in every offices! :)

Cons

- Growing very fast: 20 acquisitions or so in 6-7 years does create some layers of complexity to deal with, at all levels... - Work your way through: there are tons of opportunities to grow, but you really have to grow without relying on processes or established career path - US centricity: not enough non-US people in the Top Management; does create a bias in the way product is designed

Fun, but limited

Pros

Great people and great industry. Fantastic office space and lots of employee perks (food, equipment, team outings, etc.)

Cons

Lots of competition between teams, very difficult to move up, management prefers to higher externally rather than promote within. Limited ability to try to new things, little recognition given to accomplishments. Senior leadership is very removed from the everyday happenings at the company.
