Pros: Very good work-life balance. Nice people, good management. Great learning opportunities, which make you love what you do. Good employee benefits, including gym, travel, and insurance, and much more!

Cons: Cannot think of any at this moment.

Pros: Good travel benefits. Somewhat relaxing environment depending on teams. Some teams work on new technologies (most teams do not).

Cons: Very distracting and crowded start-up-like workspace. Too much politics for technology groups. Extreme micromanagement using Agile Scrum & a crowded space with no walls. Unprofessional behaviors from managers. A 12,000-person company, but it runs like a very big company (100k+ people). Lots of personalities ruining teamwork. Spending too much resource and time on maintaining legacy technology instead of innovating. Trying to mimic Microsoft benefits, but very cheap benefits in reality. Because of high turnover, virtually everything has to be paid back if you leave the company within a certain number of months or a year.

Pros: First and foremost, I would say that on the whole, most of the people I worked with were smart, friendly, and very motivated individuals. When I had a question about something specific to the codebase, I didn't have to wait very long to get a response back. Moreover, most of the codebase is fairly well documented on an internal wiki. My manager was a great guy and gave me tons of positive feedback and encouraged me to explore all the unique opportunities Expedia had to offer. It is also worth noting that there are numerous opportunities for self-growth offered by the company, like language classes, that can be completed on your own time or sometimes even be counted towards your current work initiative.

Cons: Similar to most large code bases, there is a significant learning curve regarding domain-specific knowledge that needs to be overcome before one is able to start making useful contributions to the company. Additionally, there was quite a bit of downtime while I waited for my computer to be set up, which further set me back from making progress. I actually joined the company in the midst of a new site release, and consequently, I wasn't able to start working on the main code base until the release had executed successfully. When I worked at Expedia, we had offices, but the company has since relocated to a new building with cubicles, which I am less fond of.
