Pros

The team I joined at Expedia's Brisbane office was the best one I've worked in in my career so far. It was NOT your run of the mill team - it was (actually) diverse, *extremely* progressive with tech (eg lots of Kotlin and FP, not just 90s style tech) and always open to trying out new things. Comp, benefits, work life balance and remote opportunities were *excellent*, and everyone was super friendly and encouraging, with zero tolerance for toxic tech-bro attitudes. *Highly*, *highly* recommend. I only left because life took me elsewhere, otherwise I'd very happily have stayed.

Cons

Not all teams are necessarily the same. Some teams may or may not have all the pros I enjoyed and listed above. Also, the wider organization is so-so with the usual corporate nonsense. Lots of reorgs, pointless churn, bad processes, hoop jumping, outright incompetent people in positions high and low... But if you're lucky enough to be in a good team, that can isolate you from a lot of that.

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.
