Pros
- Extremely smart, incredibly ambitious people across all teams and disciplines. - The most entrepreneurial group of people you'll ever work with. A dozen or more leaders with founder experience working on what are effectively their own businesses. If you want to start a company one day, this is the place for you to learn in a hands-on way how to build. - Massive $1T+ leisure travel market and easy to imagine going into other massive markets. You will never get bored if you like solving hard problems. - Very strong data culture. Almost every conversation and meeting we're showing, manipulating, and/or referencing data. This leads to a lot of real-time, fast, collaborative, fun problem-solving and decision-making. - Very fast-paced. Working cycles are short. We value speed above many other things, and this is sometimes uncomfortable but frequently leads to tremendous results. - Great pay, great benefits. - Utmost working flexibility (e.g. time of day, location, etc.). - Not surprisingly, the people you work with love to travel. People take real vacations and travel frequently. - Strong culture that management has put countless hours and tremendous thought into. Very deliberate about this from hiring to onboarding to promoting, etc.
Kontras
- While collaboration is strong within teams, it is not strong (or valued in many cases) across teams. Our single-threaded ownership model actively prevents collaboration in many cases to optimize for adding value to customers as quickly as possible. - With tremendous flexibility and great pay comes great expectations. You will be expected to be the best of the best at what you are hired for. - With great ambition comes great pressure. If you don't like pressure or hard work, Hopper isn't for you.
