Avantages

Very successful company that has been growing tremendously for the past few years. Some pros of working there: * Growth opportunities abound in a truly global company * Interesting challenges around scaling the technology and business * Generally a very laid back working culture and strong emphasis on work/life balance * Diverse group of colleagues from travel, tech and many other backgrounds * Depending on the group you're in the impact of your work can be substantial * Executive leadership generally know what they're doing * Benefits and travel perks are nice * Newer tech initiatives and focus on adopting new technologies is promising

Inconvénients

* Growing pains are real and are felt in many ways. Significant technical debt holding back progress, company culture and work/life balance is being challenged and hard to get work done across groups and company is starting to feel 'big' * Mid-level management is generally weak and there's a lot of dead weight there that impact employee morale and career development * Compensation is below par for tech talent * Business growth has been mostly inorganic through acquisitions * Decision making is mostly top-down and and people aren't encouraged to challenge that * Too much focus on activity/velocity as opposed to real results * Expedia's top talent is as good as anyone in industry but on average talent pool is weak * New campus location is terrible choice and employee concerns about it are mostly met with empty platitudes or silence

Thank you for taking the time to write a review. We’d encourage you to speak to your HrBP, particularly around your compensation concern, and other management concerns that you may have. As a company we empower our staff to “think fast” and have the opportunity to challenge the status quo so we are disappointed this hasn’t been your experience. With regards to the site move, we’d ask for you to sit tight on that for the time being whilst we look at options for commuting.

Avantages

Constant state of transformation is ripe environment for new hires and functional experts from big name tech companies

Inconvénients

Pre-covid the culture was really special. Collaborative, engaging, people-centric, with a unifying mission to enable travel for the world. Since covid there has been a revolving door of executive leadership, and with each round, they throw out the current strategy to try something "new" without building from the current or past successes. Constant change, but no clear vision or strategy of what they are trying to change to. Lack of strategy and low risk tolerance leads to too many priorities with not enough investment to move the needle in anything. Quarterly layoffs, but executed quietly team by team so as not to make news. No psychological safety. Talent strategy since covid is to hire externally over internal promotions to gain "functional expertise" therefore difficult to grow your career. Siloed divisions not working towards common goal. Lacks operating model maturity needed for a company of this size likely do to revolving door of execs and priorities. A cash cow company with an identity crisis trying to be an AI innovator. Build vs buy mentality slows them down. Too many exec pet projects that aren't vetted with proper business cases.
