Pros

Good people are there if you can find them

Cons

Management are supporting pushing staff out the door. There is a constant dark cloud in the office. Immense pressure on some staff which can't be good for mental health and work life balance. Social club events, company events and anything fun all canceled due to cut backs , it's all long hours no reward. Communication is so poor and feedback ignored. No investment in staff and only offer pointless initiatives that go now where but look good on paper. Is now a place to avoid on Tech market

Pros

- Company ideals are inspiring. - Working in the Travel Industry is really fun - There are some wonderful people working at Hostelworld - There are always new projects happening

Cons

- Upper management demands unrealistic results that aren't based on carefully calculated statistical forecasts. - When said unrealistic results are not met, management view lower level staff as lazy or uninterested, ignoring the many other contributing factors. - Management culture discourages progression and improvement. - Standing in the company, pay status and promotion opportunities are based on face time with the right managers, rather than results or merit.
