Pros

The old Expedia culture is still alive within the company is some groups, and it is an awesome culture.

Cons

Unfortunately, due to the nature of the business (publicly traded company, cutthroat travel business, technical growing pains) the company culture appears to be shifting to an Amazon-style of management. No thanks. The company is also moving to a remote area of the City of Seattle around 2019. If you don't live in Seattle, pass on this company because mass transit and commuting downtown is not for the faint of heart.

Pros

Good pay, supportive manager, and genuinely pleasant colleagues.

Cons

Frequent reorgs and shifting strategic direction made it difficult to build momentum or plan long‑term. Over time, contractor roles became increasingly narrow and production‑focused, which limited opportunities for meaningful skill development. Responsibilities that originally included project management were reduced to primarily email production work. There’s also a broader corporate pattern where work is expected to be completed exactly as written, with little room for judgment or improvement. Even small, quick optimizations can lead to pushback rather than appreciation, creating an environment where going “above and beyond” requires multiple layers of approval — which defeats the purpose of being proactive in the first place. Finally, there’s an in‑office expectation (less strict than for full‑time employees, but still present) for work that can be done entirely remotely. This tends to benefit highly social personalities, but for those who prefer focused, independent work, it feels unnecessary. Social dynamics also play a noticeable role; if you’re not immediately well‑liked or you make a single early mistake, it can create a self‑fulfilling perception that’s difficult to overcome.
