Good tech shop, but unrealistic expectation

Senior software engineer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good benefits with vacation perks. Great people. New uniformed technology stack with modern framework. Generally good high-level management. Good environment for entry-level / internship positions.

Cons

Be warn, once you reach or join at certain senior level, management has high expectation of you. You need to wear many hats of PM, manager, besides your dev job to justify your level at the same average industry salary level. Good luck keeping your work/life balance. Some funny expectations are coming from a web blog somebody sent around.

Great Industry; Culture Sorely Lacking

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Healthy work-life balance. Tasteful office space. Convenient office locations. Good benefits, although not competitive with other travel start ups in Silicon Valley/SF area. Some smart, hardworking folks in the trenches.

Cons

Culture was both hierarchical and political. Apart from a couple of (non-inspiring) female VP's, the company is totally male-dominated. Territoriality is a way of life ("Don't touch that. My team owns it!") And yet, ownership did nothing to ensure results. (It simply protected insecure higher ups who were afraid they'd be eclipsed by real talent and execution.) Far from a sense of "we all succeed or fail together," the pervasive attitude at HomeAway was all about "how can I get ahead?" The end customer - the homeowner and the traveler - were a complete after thought. It's no wonder that Airbnb has danced circles around Homeaway -- and in a fraction of the time.

Business Outlook

Pros

Great Company. Great Culture. Great Location. Great Products. Great Perks. Okay Pay. Except for the Database Department this company rocks!

Cons

The Database Department is BY FAR the most backward and oppressive I've experienced. Overworked. Disempowered. Unappreciated. Micromanaged. Oppressed. Subjected to daily stand-ups where public humiliation of peer inadequacies was commonplace. The smartest most dedicated team was treated like a bunch of retards. Highest turn-over due to low job satisfaction I've ever seen.
