Pros

Freedom for bringing your own ideas into life. Strong commitment among all employees to do a good job overall Travel domain which is extremely interesting domain to explore and experience.

Cons

Very long and frustrating calibration process. There is a vague definition and vast interpretation of the rubrics which consistently leads to inconsistent understanding of bar set for calibrations. They are huge fan of being extremely judgemental about new joiners performance in first 6 months. They have a guideline to terminate the employee in first two months if they do not seem fit. This time is barely enough to settle down in a new country, new place, new work and new people. They do not think twice before making firing or demoting decisions OKR reviews are always painful. Huge disconnect between product, tech and UX. Makes PM life horrible. Incompetent top management who highly judgemental. Very suffocating environment.

Hello, thank you for your review. We are happy that during your experience at GetYourGuide you were able to collaborate and share ideas with fellow passionate colleagues. Our review cycle is an important moment to reflect on one's journey and to receive and share feedback with peers and managers. We received feedback that this process was too long for many: we heard you! That is why the next review cycle, starting on 26 June, will be shortened to reduce workload. To support employees during the review cycle, we provide a dedicated page on our Intranet. We also built the Employee Guide, our main document of reference for timelines, highlighted changes and FAQs, and a centralized Library of Competency Profiles for everyone to consult at all times. For all questions and individual cases, we encourage all to speak with the HR representative responsible for their department. We thank you once again for your feedback and wish you all the best.

Pros

* great culture based on open feedback, no blame and continuous improvement * impact gets rewarded. You are expected to take on ownership! * flexible working hours / work from home * great colleagues that are there to help

Cons

* the product continues to not be 100% smooth but this is more of an opportunity rather than negative
