Pluspunten

- Work/Life balance (if you don't listen to gossips) - Some travel benefits (if you make an effort to find them) - Good name (Internet company) to put it on your resume if you want to move on to start ups

Minpunten

This company is extremely political (more so than companies 5 times bigger). People may smile at you but the underlying culture is very toxic with constant backstabbing. There is not enough work and people constantly fight each other to get the piece of work to do. Most of technologies Expedia is using is very ancient. Employees constantly talk about how Expedia is better than big name companies like Amazon and Microsoft when in fact, Expedia compensation and benefits are below average. There is no upward mobility at all unless you have some connections to upper management. If you have multiple offers, please consider other options. Otherwise, be prepared to search for new jobs after a year as this is not a long term place to grow your career.

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.
