Pros

A fun product, fun people and the opportunity to dig in and be creative. There's a healthy respect for what different people can bring to the team. In some lines of business, there's a good deal of leeway to throw yourself at and define a project in the way you see fit (within larger goals, of course). Expedia is not afraid to shake things up creatively and look beyond travel deals and offers -- the creation of traveler tools and unique trip planning features (with a focus on engagement capital) is encourages and nurtured. Opportunities and copy and editorial are a lot of fun.

Cons

Frequent reorganizations have resulted in a lack of clear objectives which have hit employee morale pretty hard. There have been 3-4 major reorganizations in the past 18 month. Each one brings new leadership, new initiatives and new priorities to the table. That's not bad in and of itself, lots of tech companies make frequent changes. However, the level of secrecy is pretty high and in several case, the new senior management team took a long time to make themselves visable, giving employees very little direction to go on. By the time transparency did occur, it was time for another re-org!

Pros

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

Cons

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.
