Ann Arbor, MI

Current Employee – been working at Expedia full-time for more than a year

Pros-I get to work with and learn from some of the smartest people I know.
-Travel is a great category to work in. I come into work everyday and get to think about helping people visit the most amazing places.
-My coworkers trust me, and I trust my coworkers.
-Expedia is open to different styles of working -- if you like to get in to work a later and leave later, not a problem. So long as you get your work done and you are able to effectively work as a part of a team, Expedia is open to your work style.
-Working here doesn't feel like work. It feels like a group of people working on an awesome project.

Cons-The corporate red tape can sometimes be frustrating. Some things take longer to get done than they should; some things that should be simple are made much more complicated because of red tape.

Yes, I would recommend this company to a friend – I'm optimistic about the outlook for this company

Bellevue, WA

Current Employee – been working at Expedia full-time for less than a year

ProsWorking at Expedia is like joining a new family. A very collaborative culture. Expedians relentlessly support one another on reaching goals and finishing projects. Very strong senior leadership that communicates their vision and company strategy on a regular basis to employees across the world. The C suite is the most well versed team I have ever come across in my career. It's an amazing feeling knowing where your work fits into the larger picture and you can feel like you are making a difference every day. Expedia supports and recognizes diversity. Have a idea? No reason you can't make it happen here. Innovation and quick execution is highly encouraged here. A great place to work and I highly reccommend it to everyone.

ConsNot necessarily a con, but something to note. It's a fast growing company and employees must be nimble and agile to keep up with the pace.

Advice to Senior ManagementKeep doing what you are doing. Every member of the SLT is very inspiring and informative.

Springfield, MO

Current Employee – been working at Expedia full-time for more than 3 years

ProsExpedia has a great culture, good compensation for the area, great benefits. There is generally a great teamwork dynamic here. For the most part,I find that everyone is just interested in helping everyone else. There's less of the back stabbing that I have seen in previous companies.

ConsThere could be a better work-life balance, at least in our department.

Advice to Senior ManagementBe more proactive in handling performance issues.
