Pros

I had a very short time in this company just 2 years but this company is full of Politics, less is work ethics and hard to provide work life balance. Overall not a great place to work. Local Managers are incapable and creating the environment that will go against the company.

Cons

I worked with Expedia NOC in Gurgaon for more than 2 years. My experience with this company was worst specifically to NOC. Never ever had a work life balance everyday we extended our shifts just to save our jobs, after the recent change in Management style situation became worst as some of the individuals who were promoted to the level of manager without having even a basic management skills and even worst in their previous performance are just doing threat management. Everyday they give threat to the junior employee with the name of Sr. Leadership that if they don't do this or that (which they personally want) they will be "Asked to leave" as leadership given clear instructions to these managers “Fire anyone” they want. Making personal comments on gender, race, religion are very often. A junior level employee pass through several rounds of interview but to be a manager you just need to take some specific directors to leisure trips like Agra / Jaipur / local sightseeing to Delhi on your personal expense and you will be a manager. Work ethics is almost NIL. When someone from leadership pay a visit from USA these managers start threatening to junior employees that not to say anything against them otherwise they will be fired and also make sure leaders do not get time to meet junior employees. Female employees feel insecure and mostly offended by making personal comments. Overall I had a worst time working with this department and I would recommend to ignore Expedia in your carrier path.

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.
