Pros

no one good enough to write it

Cons

As written in many honest reviews, the environment is toxic, childish and incompetent. Unprofessional and boring as repetitive work: so management bullies and micromanages and employees spend their time in gossip, denigration, childish competition; most of them enthusiastic about some meeting with a sandwich and handling a rainbow flag. The center of evil is HR, the Team managers and Team leaders are incompetent and without skills, just ready to be yes men. Your personal data will be known by everyone and on everyone's lips, if you just think of speaking out something different, wrong, incorrect towards them. I&D is nothing more false, incoherent, boring and politically incorrect: the opposite of their fake company rules, which no one respects except when someone needs to be punished. The South EU Teams are horrible managed, just gossip and denigration and mistrust between coworkers. Then I don't understand what's so wonderful about some fancy coach and free coffee in the office: something else is needed to create a good environment. Just like people who are enthusiastic about "Benefits": according to Czech labor law the Health Insurance and meal tickets are mandatory; then Multisport is basic, offered by all Companies. Which offer much more to those who have skills and don't go to Prague for their first job as a young person: laptop, cell phone, productivity bonus, WFH, so on much more interesting also as a salary. Which in Expedia is low due to Prague inflation, crazy rent costs raising, grocery. If you don't want to live in cosharing with strangers or in 25sqm, then the salary will be enough just to eat and sleep. I don't recommend this company and its toxic Prague office, be careful of your mental health: there are better options in Prague. Now then with many layoffs, only the worst of the incompetent and the friends' circle remains in the office. So only good for unemployed youngers from depressed countries, unskilled people just losing time in Prague. Avoid like plague.

Pros

Good pay, supportive manager, and genuinely pleasant colleagues.

Cons

Frequent reorgs and shifting strategic direction made it difficult to build momentum or plan long‑term. Over time, contractor roles became increasingly narrow and production‑focused, which limited opportunities for meaningful skill development. Responsibilities that originally included project management were reduced to primarily email production work. There’s also a broader corporate pattern where work is expected to be completed exactly as written, with little room for judgment or improvement. Even small, quick optimizations can lead to pushback rather than appreciation, creating an environment where going “above and beyond” requires multiple layers of approval — which defeats the purpose of being proactive in the first place. Finally, there’s an in‑office expectation (less strict than for full‑time employees, but still present) for work that can be done entirely remotely. This tends to benefit highly social personalities, but for those who prefer focused, independent work, it feels unnecessary. Social dynamics also play a noticeable role; if you’re not immediately well‑liked or you make a single early mistake, it can create a self‑fulfilling perception that’s difficult to overcome.
