Voir tous les avis (7390)Avantages
• Nice office • Relaxed working hours • Low standards and expectations • Fantastic place to work if you have a family and want to spend time at home and/or want to get by with minimum input and effort
Inconvénients
• No sense of meritocracy and a "we promote our own" culture • An organisation made by managers for managers • No appetite to actually do challenging work and tackle the industry's problems head on (hence why they're losing to competition) • People get applauded for bringing an idea forward, presenting it in 100s of meetings then stashing it on a shelf to never see the light of day again • If you want to be challenged, learn and progress from a technical perspective go work somewhere else • Pay is incredibly bad compared to other companies who they are competing for talent with • They think they are an innovative, tech company but in reality the organisation is being governed by a bunch of paper-pushers • Verbatim feedback from my manager: "You are moving & delivering incredibly fast, sometimes too fast I am afraid..."

Avantages
* Getting payed over six figures was nice as a starting PM role. * Expedia is a very big company, but has a very laid back vibe in most teams. Though there's been some leadership changes wanting this to change for tech teams - become more like Google lol. * Great Benefits! * People hired are often (at least superficially) kind. * Most prod/tech teams go to the office 2-3 days a week. *The Austin office was very big with nice amenities - there's free snacks and refreshments. A gym. Lots of places to work. There's a food service that brings in food and a wholefoods next door. * Travel and wellness bonus is 1200 or so.
Inconvénients
* Product at Expedia can be a hit or miss depending on your team. There's opportunities to do impactful work and feel great with your own team- but the folks in your team need to be up for that too. * Product management at Expedia requires stepping on a lot of toes and self-initiative to create great products, there's so many people working at different paces and across different time zones. There's always insecure product/engineering peers that may try to hinder you - but that comes with lots of product jobs - you need to consider optics, promotion, snaky peers, toxic managers, etc. It's quite an impersonal culture -nice but impersonal. My first team required lots of self-initiative even though I required much more direct instruction since it was my first corporate job (ever). My second team there was more visible to leadership and had clearer deadlines and a more fun relatable team atmosphere.
