Pluspunten

The product is amazing and the people creating the product are brilliant. The office locations are truly a site to see. The UK headquarters were in Soho, London and are now in Covent Garden. The office in Montreal is 20 paces form the Notre Dame. The view from US Headquarters is all of Seattle. From a technology perspective the company is bleeding edge and the developers are always creating better ways to present our product to the consumer. Internal development teams design workflow tools that rival our ecommerce solutions. It is a pleasure to tell people you help deliver Expedia to the world.

Minpunten

Expedia is a vacation spot for inept leadership. I have seen numerous millionaires come into Expedia and waste millions of dollars with little to no thought going into their decision making process. There is absolutely no long-term vision. The review process for employees is based solely on the 'what have you done for me lately' model of management. There is a huge separation between senior management and the teams working to keep the business online. Communication is non-existent unless a leader is blaming an employee for failure to accomplish a goal they never delivered. I can't imagine that any technology leader at Expedia has been successful outside of the work place.

I really love working at Expedia. The perks and benefits are great and I feel like I have just the right amount of work life balance. I feel fortunate to have a manager that listens to my goals and aspirations and does their best to find a path forward.

Minpunten

I’ve found the promotion cycle to be quite difficult to navigate, with promises made and often overlooked. To get a promotion, you have to work extremely hard to get visibility across the board often outside your remit.

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.
