Pluspunten

Work life balance, there is a solid range of benefits too, such as insurance subsidy, gym etc. Overall the salary is on the average side, as compared to similar firms in Switzerland.

Minpunten

Lack of job opportunities in the Geneva office makes a whole lot of people change teams and move to London, or quit Expedia entirely. On the odd occasion that there is an opportunity for a manager to become a director, or an analyst to become a manager 9/10 times management will hire externally and make empty promises to a given employee that they will be promoted within the next few months. To add to that there is a rampant favouritism, where most of the new hires are brought in by the hiring managers from their previous companies, or are relatives of someone they know (both of the largest teams in Geneva are managed by one married couple, no joke).

Pluspunten

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

Minpunten

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.
