Cons

1. Back to back phone calls 2. The payroll department lacks effective, transparent, and correct communication as well as accountability 3. Numbers/metrics are looked at consistently, almost obsessively 4. Shift schedules are not flexible 5. Long hours 7. Emphasis, priority, and importance seems to be put on the company over the employee frequently 8.

The platform is overly complicated for customers to feel self-sufficient which makes for a lot of technical support and customer questions and frustration

Pros

* It's a great brand * Great partners * Decent product with strong distribution

Cons

* Management style was heavily top-down, with decision-making concentrated among a small group of senior leaders. * This was the same when they were all working at KAYAK under the same group * I observed what I felt was preferential treatment of certain employees (notably of a certain ethnicity - IYKYK), which negatively impacted perceptions of fairness and inclusivity within the organisation. * The workplace environment could be highly stressful, and concerns raised by employees were not always addressed effectively. * Staff wellbeing, retention, and morale appeared to be ongoing challenges during my time with the company.
