Pros: - Overall work-life balance is great with flexible work hours and schedules, but this can be team dependent. - Generally very friendly and nice people with a mostly relaxed and laid-back work environment. - Decent benefits including: * Travel and wellness reimbursement * Travel discounts * Standard 401k matching * Good vacation policy * Healthcare * Matching charitable donations - A "Test and Learn" culture makes data the main driving force for product decisions.

Cons: - Generally poor middle management and heavy politics at management levels. - Some engineering teams have bad ratios of technical product managers/engineering managers to developers, which creates too much overhead and slows initiatives down. - Very unclear promotion paths and requirements. This causes a clash between diversity initiatives and the meritocracy that the company preaches, and can lead to a sentiment of unfairness during promotion cycles. - Overall average engineering quality, with some exceptions. Unable to maintain solid talent, as they leave for other companies in the area (seems like Amazon is becoming a top destination). - Expedia advertises itself as a tech company, but the culture of average compensation makes the company lag behind tech companies in the area. - Constantly playing catch-up to competitors, which creates fewer opportunities to pursue features that innovate or distinguish Expedia in the market. - Some product decisions feel short-sighted. Just because conversion numbers are good does not mean it is good in the long run.

Pros: The business part is good. The only attribute to the company's success. Project management is good. QA is mostly automated.

Cons: Technical debt is big. The system is over-designed. The source code is monolithic and very inefficient. Some teams are inefficient and not up to their job.

Pros: Great life balance because many people only work 3 hours a day and they get paid nicely, so they just get by. Good restaurants are around the office. $300~$600 travel money annually.

Cons: Why is Priceline doing much better than Expedia? This is why. Too much politics. Too much stabbing at each other. If you don't have an ally, it's hard to work there even if you are a rock star. They don't value results too much. Feedback from your peer is over-valued. The pay is the lowest among all the big companies in this area compared to Google, Microsoft, etc.
