HomeAway Employee Job Reviews in the United States

"Truly one of the most egregiously discriminatory companies I've ever encountered; what's most disturbing is that both the executive and HR teams turn a blind eye. Comments like "we're too busy dealing with other issues to address right now," and "oh, that shouldn't be happening, sorry!" are common responses to serious offenses. We're not talking about someone burning popcorn in the break room, but senior level male employees sharing photos of women and asking for "feedback", temper tantrums that escalate into workplace violence, open discrimination (I only want fresh, young people on my team; he's too old to learn anything new; she's so boring, she'll never be promoted), and executives reading aloud during a meeting (with the caveat that anyone who might be offended should leave the room because "I don't want anyone running to HR"). There are certainly teams and departments that function quite normally and effectively, but that other teams are dysfunctional to the point of being illegal does bode well for a long term career here."

"Leaders of this company are great and know what they are doing. I had an opportunity to meet all of them in person and loved the way they grew this company and made it one of the top travel sites in the world."

"Great company to work for. Great people and environment for success."

"I've worked at HomeAway since May 2013. The company is decently organized and provides very competitive compensation. Their technology and practices are sufficiently up-to-date and are they are reasonably good at addressing technical debt. The only complaint I have is that the company is fairly large and engineers' roles tend to be limited. As a result, I tend to become bored fairly frequently with little to do except hunt for bugs to fix or code to cleanup (if I am allowed to touch the code)."
