Pros

I waited nearly a full year to write this review to make sure I could provide feedback without rose colored glasses. In gernal, I love working at Expedia. Expedia has a good work life balance. Most individual contributors on the tech side work around nine to ten hours a day. On average the work force is younger, friendly, and intelligent. It is rare to find a team that isn't open to new suggestions or unwilling to try and find creative solutions. It is also possible to work from home occassionally if needed. The travel discounts for full time employees are great. If you love travel and technology, the tech side of Expedia is a great fit. If you don't want to travel, you'll miss out on some of the best perks.

Cons

Like any company, there are those teams which are the exception to the rule. My advise to potential candidates is to ask how many weekends the team works on average each month. Most teams don't work any weekends, and the teams with severe issues freqently work long hours and weekends. The pay scale is not as high as Amazon, and slighly behind Microsoft. There is also the odd manager who puts himself ahead of the team, but movement between teams is fairly straight forward.

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.
