I have been working at Hotels.com full-time (Less than a year)
Pros
Hotels.com is an established (25+ years) company that is still growing every year. As a "dotcom" company, the work environment is more relaxed, and the company favors innovation and a "fail fast" attitude. Strategies are always changing, and there is always new, exciting work to keep things interesting. As a global travel company, employees have diverse background, so your teammates with have many experiences and perspectives to share. Team sizes are small enough that individuals have a significant, measureable impact on the company. Overall, going to work is enjoyable and employees, from top management to junior level, are friendly and fun to work with; obviously.
Cons
Hotels.com is not the most competitive company in terms of compensation and benefits, but they are from the worse as well. The Dallas metro area is a standard suburban sprawl, which may be considered non-ideal to some, though the drivability and low cost of living make up for that.
Advice to Management
Management is doing a great job as it is. Feedback from direct supervisors are frequent and honest. The friendly attitude makes management (even VPs) approachable.
Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Hotels.com (London, England (UK)) in June 2017.
Interview
Recruiter phone interview, followed by hiring manager phone interview, then in person at their offices in London. In person interview was 5 x 30 minutes with different people from the Product and Technology teams. The interviewers were friendly and they asked reasonable questions. I didnt' feel that they were trying to catch me out. They also tried to not keep repeating the same questions through the process. Most of it was standard Product Process type questions (e.g. user stories, backlog management, prioritisation, working with the design and development teams, review of processes, stakeholder management etc).
