Pros

International spirit, you get to work with some truly qualified people (very few)

Cons

- No growth opportunities - Micromanagement at a disgusting level - Mostly incompetent people, because they are focusing only in quantity and not quality - Managers bring their personal problems at work and they spread negativeness - The biggest con is that there was evident bullying and harassment from the leadership, it was reported to managers, very toxic environment in the office and the feedback was not counted at all. The same people that were bullying their colleagues got promoted, even though the behaviour is the same. Feedback reached the highest level of leadership it could reach but favouring incompetent people has always been the case in Expedia!

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.
