Pros

Expedia has been a good place for me to grow into my current role, I've had lots of experience in different technologies and have been lucky, for the most part, to pick the projects/teams I work on. I've been very pleased with my direct management, but it gets wonky on cross team projects

Cons

There is a disconnect between leadership and tech as far as understanding what our problems are and why we cant build things fast. Expedia has been around for a long time, and for most of the time its been around, there has been limited effort to clean up code, leaving a lot of half implemented or hackey features that were built and abandoned in the code over time. I don't think expedia has a great growth trajectory, and really it needs to focus on what it does well and not try to compete with the likes of shopify or retail commerce.

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.
