Pros

Big growth in recent years. Must give credit to that. Money investment done well. Partner management done well.

Cons

Top leaders-middle layer-employees structure is more like 20-60-20. The company is a money making machine for top management And the HUGE crowd of middle management. They are like 80% of the company. A typical place where only non management staffs do the real work to build the products. Many managers are slackers. Top leaders are inspirational speakers. They make you trust, admire them so much, but when it comes to Feedback, Deliver, management is the only one who is giving Feedback, and employees are the only ones who do delivering. The company is also a former Washington Mutual 'mafia' occupied place. WaMus are very exclusive, causing an awkward situation where you are not welcome to be part of it, neither you can have a different voice. Awkward. Juniors, consider yourself warned, unless you want to become a useless person who is only good at politics, do not join. Your managers speak about you as such : do not tell these kids that they can get more salary somewhere else or they will all leave. You know someone who really care about your career or really smart does not talk like that.

Pros

Some great people. Opportunities to travel.

Cons

A fantastic brand to have on your CV, but that's where it ends. If you are driven by results, don't expect to change or deliver anything here. Unless the CEO thinks its a good idea it will never happen, one of the major reasons that the companies market share and revenues in Europe are in such rapid decline. Because nobody dares question his 'leadership' the culture is one of blame and suspicion, with senior management constantly looking for  someone to point the finger at. Expedia is a great stepping stone, but don't be fooled into thinking this will be a long term career move. Its a volatile, high pressure environment with extremely high staff turnover, the resultant is constant course correct and a new 'strategy' every few months. Expect to see a re-structure and senior leadership change every six months or so. The company invests little to nothing in staff development, and the general attitude towards staff is unsupportive and aggressive. Overall the business is incredibly political and bureaucratic. Leadership are all desperately trying to protect their own small corners of the empire and deflect the CEO's gaze onto someone else, so expect little support. Senior management will happily throw you under a bus if it takes the spot light off them for just a moment.

Pros

* Good comp * Good office facilities * Support hybrid working * Team members are genuinely hard-working and very smart

Cons

* Senior management (C-Suite and one level down) is woeful * Back office systems are a joke, if they exist at all! Nothing cohesive and good luck finding the right powerpoint or spreadsheet * No training to any of the front line (apart from the robotic on-line 'mandatories') * ambiguous managerial instructions
