Pluspunten
The team I joined at Expedia's Brisbane office was the best one I've worked in in my career so far. It was NOT your run of the mill team - it was (actually) diverse, *extremely* progressive with tech (eg lots of Kotlin and FP, not just 90s style tech) and always open to trying out new things. Comp, benefits, work life balance and remote opportunities were *excellent*, and everyone was super friendly and encouraging, with zero tolerance for toxic tech-bro attitudes. *Highly*, *highly* recommend. I only left because life took me elsewhere, otherwise I'd very happily have stayed.
Minpunten
Not all teams are necessarily the same. Some teams may or may not have all the pros I enjoyed and listed above. Also, the wider organization is so-so with the usual corporate nonsense. Lots of reorgs, pointless churn, bad processes, hoop jumping, outright incompetent people in positions high and low... But if you're lucky enough to be in a good team, that can isolate you from a lot of that.
