Pros

People are nice, and not responsible for the bad management and old fashion technology and company culture. Drinks and snacks provided, and a free meal once a week.

Cons

Management is unskilled and unprofessional, following old procedures and giving opportunities for career growth only based on relationships. Decision making is based also on relationships within the company and not on merit. Their technology is outdated and changes take far too long.

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.
