I had high hopes for my application process at Expedia, but unfortunately, the experience was deeply disappointing. I began with a 30-minute phone interview with Matthew Fisher (HR), who was polite and confirmed I would be progressing to the next stage. I then had a one-hour virtual interview with the Senior Director, Product Analytics & Experimentation, who was thoughtful, professional, and even included a surprise SQL test. Despite the technical challenge, he gave me the time I needed and treated me with respect, which I appreciated. Following this, Matthew reached out to say the interview went very well and wanted to move me forward to three more interviews. I promptly shared my availability, but that was the last time I ever heard from Expedia. Over the following weeks, I followed up multiple times via email and phone - leaving voicemails too - but received no response. It's now been over two months, and I’ve been completely ghosted. What's especially disheartening is seeing Matthew Fisher remain active on LinkedIn during this time, engaging with posts while ignoring my follow-ups. Candidates invest significant time, energy and emotional effort into interview processes, often while juggling current work responsibilities. Being ghosted at this stage after receiving such positive feedback - is not just unprofessional, it’s disrespectful. I’m sharing this experience to encourage Expedia to improve their candidate communication and to warn others that, unfortunately, even a strong performance and positive feedback may not guarantee a response.
