    What’s it like working at Travelzoo?

    AI summary of recent reviews

    Employees at Travelzoo (Singapore) Pte Ltd appreciate the friendly and supportive colleagues, particularly at the executive level in Asia. The benefits, including opportunities for free travel, are highlighted as good. The company also practises an open culture and provides empowerment and chances to try new ideas.

    However, there are indications of high staff turnover in Singapore over the past 5 years, potentially due to mismanagement. As the company undergoes a transition, the workload can become taxing for staff at times. Additionally, some reviewers have questioned the sustainability of Travelzoo's business in Asia due to low brand recognition and the impact of COVID-19 on the travel industry. The Singapore office is also noted as being small compared to other global offices.

    Travelzoo Singapore has no growth potential.
    The good thingsGood office facilities Friendly executive-level colleagues in Asia who are easy to work with. As another reviewer pointed out, they are a major reason for staff retention.
    The challengesSo many Singapore staff have left Travelzoo in the last 5 years due to mismanagement of staff. The sales department will undermine the production development's work at every turn, instead of working together towards feasible KPIs. Then again, feasible KPIs are impossible. Travelzoo's business is not sustainable in Asia. Simply look at its financial reports and lack of brand recognition. Newsletter readership is low, and there is little marketing of the website. Do your friends and family know of this brand? If not, how would it even be possible for them to expand in Asia, let alone Singapore? The travel industry is tough now given the COVID-19 situation, so give this a pass. Or go for a more established brand with a bigger Singapore presence.
