Minpunten

There are several cons with this company because of their leadership and management. I have worked with Expedia Group gurgaon over 4.5 years in NOC. Here is my thoughts 1. LACK OF LEADERSHIP: Till date, I am failed to understand are some people in NOC relatives of the Owner of the company because there is no reason for them to keep them in NOC. 2. BUSINESS LOSS: Outages are uncontrable, lack of clarity, highly sensitive environment with no backup or redundancy plan, Buy costly technologies but handover to inefficient managers. Highly demanding and stressful environment. Though some higher people enjoy reimbursements of their personal bills in the name of team lunch / dinners. 3. INTERNAL POLITICS AND WORST ETHICS: Inside the promotions are not based on performance or work you carry. It is totally depend on how much time one spend in cafeteria building their personal relationships at the cost of company. Offer some free drinks to foreign leaders take them on free luxury trips, offer everything they want specifically that feed their lust and a promotion to a rank of manager or leaders is for sure. There are many people across expedia who are worst performers but become manager just for that reason. 4. LACK OF COMMUNICATIONS: Maximum communications in the company is with the immediate boss who usually are threatening employees to cost his job if says against him. Sr leaders or directors do not talk to their skip level employees to burst the politics bubble and works only on decades old FEEDBACK system. People are frustrated as no one is there to hear them. All good employees either wish to leave or already left. 5. SINKING SHIP: Whatever is told by leadership in fansy magazines but the reality of wrapping up most of Expedia businesses are due to internal leadership problems than external factors like COVID or travel industry. 6. CARRIER DEATH: Its a clear carrier death as Expedia uses latest technology by putting old people same like buying a Ferrari and running at Maruti 800 style.

I really love working at Expedia. The perks and benefits are great and I feel like I have just the right amount of work life balance. I feel fortunate to have a manager that listens to my goals and aspirations and does their best to find a path forward.

Minpunten

I’ve found the promotion cycle to be quite difficult to navigate, with promises made and often overlooked. To get a promotion, you have to work extremely hard to get visibility across the board often outside your remit.

Good pay, supportive manager, and genuinely pleasant colleagues.

Minpunten

Frequent reorgs and shifting strategic direction made it difficult to build momentum or plan long‑term. Over time, contractor roles became increasingly narrow and production‑focused, which limited opportunities for meaningful skill development. Responsibilities that originally included project management were reduced to primarily email production work. There’s also a broader corporate pattern where work is expected to be completed exactly as written, with little room for judgment or improvement. Even small, quick optimizations can lead to pushback rather than appreciation, creating an environment where going “above and beyond” requires multiple layers of approval — which defeats the purpose of being proactive in the first place. Finally, there’s an in‑office expectation (less strict than for full‑time employees, but still present) for work that can be done entirely remotely. This tends to benefit highly social personalities, but for those who prefer focused, independent work, it feels unnecessary. Social dynamics also play a noticeable role; if you’re not immediately well‑liked or you make a single early mistake, it can create a self‑fulfilling perception that’s difficult to overcome.
