Pros

Direct supervisors have been supportive and recognize talent and dedication. Co-workers are mostly good folks who work hard and have camaraderie. Technology is sufficient, although sometimes the left hand has no idea what the right hand is doing. The benefits are good - 3 weeks vacation starting out, 2 weeks of sick leave, plus travel and exercise reimbursements.

Cons

Upper level management is constantly changing and every new person seems more concerned with putting their personal stamp on the company rather than simply focusing on what is best for the future of Expedia - there needs to be cohesion and unity on the direction Expedia is going and how resources are managed. While benefits are good, the pay is suboptimal and Expedia's boast "pay for performance" is not entirely accurate.

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.
