Vantaggi
Some very nice people, spiffy office, good pay, good benefits, good snacks. But that will all wear off after a couple weeks - if you're over 25 however.
Svantaggi
Clueless with new hires Ultra-cliquey The culture is very junior. Your only metric for success is how much money you make for Priceline. Regardless of what they tell you in the interview - you will NOT be revolutionizing the travel industry. You will however be a slave to A/B testing that is set up by people with no testing expertise, only spreadsheets and profit reporting. Yet they pretend to be a wonderful holistic startup full of wonderful values. If you buy their HR fluff, then go ahead and join their cult. If you want to add real value for CUSTOMERS (not Priceline necessarily) then look elsewhere. Sure nearly everyone is nice, but they are almost never considerate, thorough or even competent. Will your manager tell you when they are going on vacation? Maybe. Maybe not. Will your coworkers stop pretending they are good at your job too and hoarding work because it makes themselves feel more important? Maybe, maybe not. Will your manager be clear with you about what they expect and when? Maybe. Will your manager have a deep knowledge of your role and the skills involved? Probably not. Will they pave the way for your success rather than theirs? Are you kidding me?. Instead you will be put through a series of 2 minute meetings that add up to nothing you can act on. They like to rush around like they are super busy, but all that happens is everyone is interrupting everyone else so frequently that barely any work gets done at all. With 20 of the right people you could easily out-perform the entire Cambridge office. It's sad really. It used to be such an innovative company.
