Pros

Expedia is a company that truly cares for its employees. It fosters a feeling of trust and collaboration between employees. Throughout my time there, I felt that the way my managers treated their directs was one of utmost respect and deep care. If something is going wrong, you will be given feedback and advice very quickly so you can adjust whatever needs to be adjusted. As a result, the people I have worked with oftentimes mirror the way they are treated by their managers and everyone will go out of their way to help you succeed and make your journey a pleasant one. People tend to be well-versed and engineers are definitely not the stereotypical reclusive programmers we've heard countless jokes on.

Cons

The biggest downside I can think of is the lack of innovation and how risk averse the company has become. Unless it's coming from the ground up, teams can end up working on some very minor tasks that are neither disruptive nor truly valuable for the business. If you have a team that promotes innovation and a manager that is willing to push it upward, then you will have a great time otherwise you may end up being bored and unmotivated. In my opinion, the company is clearly not innovating enough and is losing its standing but instead of trying to tackle this, upper management has been reshuffling organizations around in countless reorgs it's become dizzying.

Pros

Incredible benefits! Quality, affordable medical insurance, 401k, wellness reimbursement, travel reimbursement, plenty of PTO, etc. They have fresh food cooked daily for breakfast and lunch, available for purchase. They also have free food, such as yogurt cups, cheese sticks, and shelf-stable fruits available to all employees. The benefits keep many of us here. I will say, have had two supervisors so far, and they’ve each been great. Very understanding, yet motivating. I haven’t yet met a supervisor who didn’t value their supervisees.

Cons

The main digital platforms we use do not function efficiently, which makes a noticeable impact on our work. On a perfect day, you’ll still spend 8-12 minutes per hour waiting on load screens, but we have experienced days in which the sites were down for about 6 hours within an 8 hour day. I feel that our quarterly goals are not constructed with this in mind. Another major con is—like many places now—job security is an issue. AI is taking over the job of many employees, and while we’re told to embrace it, it’s difficult to do so when you could walk in any day and be told to pack your things.
