Pros

- Amazing benefits - Flexible working hours - Travel perks - Access to communicate with anyone in the company - As of recent, a lot of training resources for new hires - The company is HUGE and global, so there are opportunities to transfer almost anywhere - Expedia Group is a powerhouse in online travel so business growth will likely maintain even in unfavorable economic periods--therefore job security is not a major concern

Cons

- Extremely top-heavy - Lack of diversity in management - Limited career growth opportunities - Labels itself as a platform tech company, does not pay as such - If you rub elbows with the right executives & directors, you will soar in this company; however hard work and consistent success will not necessarily get you to where you want to be

Pros

Expedia is a great company overall, if you are comfortable with a large corporate environment. They provide good benefits and a nice downtown office. I absolutely loved this company and this job before a particular person came into their management position. I was passionate about the business and excited for what was next.

Cons

I had my work/life balance privileges "suspended" for 2 months (eligible after 6 months, I received at 8 months with the company). She allowed other employees on our team who had been working here for less than 6 months to work from home and leave early for things such as hair appointments, while denying every request I made in this regard. These instances were a huge deterrent to me, and my confidence level plummeted, as I was being treated obviously differently than my peers. I had many meetings with my manager about the management and feedback style that works best for me, as well as what I respond best to as an employee. She continued to disregard my requests and only notify me of mistakes and shortcomings, never an encouragement nor a thank you. The continuous negativity towards me took a real toll on my morale as an employee. My manager's way of "coaching" me was to reiterate that me working for Expedia was like “trying to fit a round peg in a square hole” and that it would be “very mature” of me to decide that this job isn’t for me. In my opinion, because of someone who’s role is to grow and develop a team of people, I felt extremely discouraged and almost pushed out. I felt marginalized, disrespected, and discouraged by my manager almost every single day, and this took a sincere toll on my confidence and self-respect.

Pros

Every year, there is a survey for all Expedians called Rate Your Stay. I had absolutely horrible managers and the survey is anonymous so you'll likely not be victimised if you are brutally honest. The survey results indicated that all of my peers felt the same way about those managers. The managers then subsequently left their roles once the results were out and there is new structure and new management now trying to help resolve the all that damage. A tad too late as 3 key senior skilled Product Managers had already left the team.

Cons

Unfortunately, benefits have dwindled. We used to have Vitality which got changed, also there should be more holiday allotment and better travel discounts as Expedia is a travel company! I had absolutely terrible managers who took credit for my work, would speak over me in meetings, would never communicate the value of the work I was doing to the wider business. So very defeating experience. No progression opportunity within the team. Beware of the politics, frustratingly slow progress of delivery, the firing of so many technical contracting staff but with no perm staff to fill the gap.
