Pros – Orbitz is a great place to start your career and/or grow your career. Lots of smart people who like to challenge the status quo. Fast paced environment with cutting edge technology. Not a place for people who want to work 9-5.

Cons – Orbitz is a global company that can sometimes work in silos. We need to continue to break down these silos to be successful.

Advice to Senior Management – Continue to provide honest and open feedback.

I worked at Orbitz Worldwide full-time for more than a year

Pros – Nice location, well known brand. Very competitive industry, lots of smart folks to learn from. Pay is ok, though can be tough to move up.

Cons – The benefits need work. Compared to other .coms the benefits are quite poor. No 401k match first year in, 10 days paid time off, sub-par insurance, no personal package deliveries and to top it off a recent layoff in the past 6 months.

Advice to Senior Management – Things have improved (slowly) but morale is low, many more will leave unless things improve.

No, I would not recommend this company to a friend

I worked at Orbitz Worldwide full-time for more than a year

Pros – Youthful spirit, smart friendly professional people, sense of humor, great benefits, fun place to work, flexible working hours, cutting edge technologies, challenging assignments, constant learning.

Cons – Changes in technologies, teams, structures, goals and directions come too often
and on a regular basic.
It may be hard to learn and adjust and be productive at the same time.
Too much multitasking and too many different responsibilities for each Software Engineer.
It makes it challenging to concentrate and difficult to perform each duty with high quality.
OK for some people, not so for others.
Business is very complex. Many processes to adhere to. It takes between 6 and 12 months
to learn enough to become fully productive.

Advice to Senior Management – Simplify annual evaluation process. Nobody likes it. Other than that, no complaints.
