Expedia Group reviews

Too much of being micromanaged. My manager directed me to write up employees but then would go behind my back to these same employees and claim I was wrong to have done it. I feel this caused the line staff to lose faith in my fairness.

- Generally poor middle management and heavy politics at management levels - Some engineering teams have bad ratios of technical product managers/engineering managers to developers that create too much overhead and slow initiatives down - Very unclear promotion paths and requirements. This causes a clash between the diversity initiatives and the meritocracy that the company preaches and can lead to a sentiment of unfairness during promotion cycles. - Overall average engineering quality with some exceptions. Unable to maintain solid talent from leaving to other companies in the area (seems like Amazon is becoming a top destination) - Expedia advertises itself as a tech company, but the culture of average compensation makes the company lag behind tech companies in the area. - Constantly playing catch-up to competitors which creates less opportunities to pursue features that innovate or distinguish Expedia in the market - Some product decisions feel short-sighted. Just because the conversion numbers are good does not mean it is good in the long run.
