Lots of growing pains, becoming too big and sluggish

Pros

There are a lot of great people who work here, the culture can be great and fun (lots of social opportunities), fun office space

Cons

- would rather hire externally from big name companies vs promote from within - good old boys club, upper management is primarily male and the women in leadership roles would rather network with the men then lead or mentor other women - depending on department not a lot of room for growth so it's easy to become stagnate - at times it seems like upper management has no clue what is going on at the mid level and below - very short sighted on product development, looking for quick gains (or catch up) vs longer term growth - married to the numbers, while analytics should drive the core of the business there are times when you have to invest in some non-measurable activities - benefits growing worse over time (higher cost of health benefits, paying for parking downtown)

Fast-paced company with incredible growth

Pros

HomeAway is an amazing place to work and offers incredible opportunities for young professionals. This was my first job out of college and in the time I've been here we've acquired numerous companies, gone public, purchased super bowl ads and much more - all of which have provided invaluable experience for my career. While these milestones are all in the past now, the company is showing no signs of slowing down and because we're still relatively small, you feel as though your contributions really can make in impact on the business. As for the day-to-day, the culture in the office is absolutely work-hard, play-hard. We have plenty of happy hours, parties, etc. to balance out the long list of to-dos and aggressive deadlines.

Cons

We're definitely working through the growing pains of becoming a larger company and having to institute more process, which makes us feel less nimble, at times.

Pros

Offered a lot of vacation time. Management tries to work around vacation time and non-work stressors.

Cons

Launches need to be more prepared with software to customer interface with better faq knowledge base
