Pros

1. Culture, employee centric. People care about each other. 2. Some perks like free food and cab at India office. 3. Great Work life balance and leave policy

Cons

1. Over last three+ four years in the organisation few things have moved, competitors are doing better. 2. Too many management layers there are so many managers, senior managers and directors with one or three directs. 3. Top down approach. Things are decided at top level, before covid, senior leadership used to go out on retreat to think about product. Junior folks are often excluded from planning and ideation. 4. Not smartest people to work with. Can't afford to hire FAANG talent. Can't even retail good talent. 5. Pay is not competitive, Covid made situation worse. 6. Expedia is not doing 'next' in travel. Vision is clear mission is not. For ex. local activities the area where Air B&B made huge progress is still flat here at Expedia. 7. Career progression is often difficult or unclear. 8. Execution speed is slow. Look at checkout pages it's still the old page even after years where other pages and LOBs have already migrated to new design system.

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.
