More about KAYAK
KAYAK is a travel search site. Everybody knows what a search site is, and everybody knows what a travel site is. KAYAK is like both, but it’s different in some important ways.
Like a search site, we help you find what you want. What makes us different is that we’re specialized. Our tools are made to deeply understand things like airfares and hotel stays. And like a travel site we have flights and hotels. But we’re very different from most travel
sites because we don't actually sell plane tickets, hotel rooms, or anything else.
We help people find the best travel choices easily by searching the data from hundreds of travel sites at once. KAYAK lets you compare options, and when you find something that fits your budget and tastes, you book it where you want: at the airline site, from the hotel, or from a travel agent.
We do (humbly?) think KAYAK is a cool place to work. Travel is fun. There are some (wicked) smart people here. It’s a fast-paced environment where people work very hard, but we tend not to kill our employees with a million hours a week. Our technology office has the best coffee in North America. Seriously. And our Norwalk office boasts some of the best ping-pong players in the world (we're talking about the kind of ping-pong that's well known at Eastern colleges if you know what we mean).
