Pros

-modern work culture w/ emphasis on diversity and social responsibility -in 80th to 90th percentile, overall, for innovation and methodology and tech -very good benefits overall, you are actually expected to use your PTO -very stable financially and gaining share -excellent CEO, creme de la creme IMHO

Cons

-programs come and go like the wind, i.e. very inconsistent -lethargic mid to long term discipline and vision -mentorship programs do not exist -poor work space planning and slow to react; very very crowded -fat middle management layer riddled with outdated skills and indecision -advancement relies on political posturing and games rather than merit and vision -very poor equity programs/distribution for anyone not in senior management -below avg. retirement plan options

Pros

Lots of employee perks. Strong benefits. Decent work/life balance.

Cons

Especially in an engineering role, it's far better to work under a "brand" or other profit center. While the pressure may be a bit higher, you will get more funding sooner for improvements and technical leadership are more likely to test ideas. This is considerably less true within IT, eCP and other shared services.

Pros

you can slack, No need to work beyond 2 hrs per day. A company for losers, who are industry rejects, who cant get a job elsewhere.

Cons

Pay is below wayyyy avg. Example:market rate is 200K, expedia pays 125k. Middle management is extremely heavy. More managers than developers. The tech stack is a joke and outdated. Every 5-8 people team has a incompetent director who are yes-men to their bosses. The team morale is low and keep missing deliveries. The teams are composed on incompetent industry rejects. There is no company wide initiative to build tools which help everyday dev work , like build systems deployment systems, there is no capacity planning. Company gets hacked breached by intruders as the security of the network is very weak. The expedia website goes down and remains downs for hours. The management does not care about customer experience and does not refund customers who are eligible to get refund (Like cancellations, bad experience),Company looses bookings and customers are not even refunded. People who give glorious review are paid reviews. The employees are paid by $100 gift cards to give glorious reviews. Please dont work for them. Doing a minimum wage job is better than working at expedia. Anyway pay is also similar to min wag job. This company will not exist in business in 5-6 years.
