Pluspunten
Super smart people and interesting ideas and ways of solving complex problems. I like the analystical way in which the business is run and the way decisions are made, it is all based on data. (that is sometimes good and bad). Depending on the team you can make your ideas become a reality so there can be a real sense of accomplishment. Lots of career growth and potential but you have to be prepared to move georgraphically if you really want your career to progress. Expedia is a leader in the on-line travel field so that is good. Great basket of brands that service different segments of the market.
Minpunten
Professional career pathing and training is not adequate especially at management levels. On the technical side of the business we have a lot of whizz kids but few compentent leaders and managers. It is hard to get this combination right. Compensation philosophy is not ideal as EI openly admits it pays at the 50% percentile of the market. Not sure if the grading and evaluation process is that transparent and don't believe that people are really rewarded for the hard work that they put into the business. It is easy to get lost in the shuffle because of the size of the company.
