Pros

1. Friendly environment with lots of nice, helpful people. 2. Sometimes have interesting projects with cool technologies in AWS, this will be very helpful later in any dev's career. 3. Flexible work hours and work at home is allowed in moderation. 4. Good updates from senior management, Mark Okerstrom seems like a good CEO with lots of passion for the travel industry.

Cons

1. At least in my org, priorities change too rapidly and it severely hampers motivation. 2. There are often huge disconnects between teams which slows down progress and causes lots of redundant work. 3. Compensation and Benefits are not on par with other large companies in the area. 4. Sometimes very political with middle management not totally in touch with what developers are doing and how they feel. 5. The single biggest issue for me is that on my team, velocity of work is not tracked at all. I don't think lower/middle management has a clue who is producing and who is not.

Pros

Nice office space right in the heart of downtown vancouver Occasional free food Get to work on high impact projects which help beef up the resume

Cons

They are very traditional for a tech company, rate of progress is loaded with processes. Adoption of new technology is at least 10years behind Any new idea is challenged by managers and not discussed openly. You will feel like your defending it when all you wanted is an open discussion Extremely competitive co-workers, you have to play "the game" Mangers are fabulous engineers but not great managers They consider working from home a luxury (don't do it) Very low pay Too many projects that lack direction, your always very busy working No room to grow or for promotion. -- Not sure about the other offices, this is specific for Vancouver only

Pros

Free food Free cab Good health cover

Cons

Used to have great engineering and work culture but not anymore Indian middle management is full of politicians, they are spoiling the essence of a tech company. There is zero product focus, coding standards are depleting everyday and non tech management promotes people who write crappy code and do the flattery. Very few teams working on technically valued work, most of the serious work is being done by US teams and india is becoming a back office. There is no innovation happening in india because of the talent being hired here. Too much politics for anyone who wants to focus on work, if you want to be promoted you need to have good connections with the politicians.
