Pluspunten

I waited nearly a full year to write this review to make sure I could provide feedback without rose colored glasses. In gernal, I love working at Expedia. Expedia has a good work life balance. Most individual contributors on the tech side work around nine to ten hours a day. On average the work force is younger, friendly, and intelligent. It is rare to find a team that isn't open to new suggestions or unwilling to try and find creative solutions. It is also possible to work from home occassionally if needed. The travel discounts for full time employees are great. If you love travel and technology, the tech side of Expedia is a great fit. If you don't want to travel, you'll miss out on some of the best perks.

Minpunten

Like any company, there are those teams which are the exception to the rule. My advise to potential candidates is to ask how many weekends the team works on average each month. Most teams don't work any weekends, and the teams with severe issues freqently work long hours and weekends. The pay scale is not as high as Amazon, and slighly behind Microsoft. There is also the odd manager who puts himself ahead of the team, but movement between teams is fairly straight forward.

Pluspunten

Constant state of transformation is ripe environment for new hires and functional experts from big name tech companies

Minpunten

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.
