Pros

I think Kayak has the best of both worlds in terms of company culture and work environment. On one hand, it still operates as a small start-up, with a flat organization, great perks, and flexible hours. On the other hand, it is part of the Priceline Group, the world's largest online-travel company, which allows it to take risks and explore opportunities that could be out of reach for smaller companies.

Cons

Some people feel there's lack of formal direction in their career, but senior management is very friendly and always willing to listen and give advice to whoever asks.

Pros

There's a great culture where everyone is smart and happy with their lives, with a start-up vibe that has none of the misogyny or cut-throat competition of Silicon Valley. Amazing offices, good opportunities to travel, and young workforce. Easy to switch positions and with opportunities to learn new skills.

Cons

The pace of growth is slowing in company overall.
