Pros

Not much to speak about other than the travel benefits and the work-life balance.

Cons

Don't believe the company rating. I'm shocked Expedia is in the top 20 best rated companies. It's totally misleading and in my mind a shame. While I was there, there was an internal initiative to bump up the rating on Glassdoor and they asked employees to post positive reviews. Don't be fooled.

Thanks for taking the time to write a review. We do invite employees to post an anonymous review on Glassdoor if they want to, but we encourage everyone to leave what they want – the good, the bad and the ugly! We see Glassdoor as a great tool to help us improve how we do things and we encourage our employees to be honest in their assessment.

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.
