Pros: Expedia looks after you with plenty of benefits and pay. Work can be interesting, and if you're motivated, you can work on fun problems. Plenty of room for career growth if you're planning to stay a long time.

Cons: Lots of reorgs, a vision that's not that inspiring. Coordination across teams is messy, and there are lots of silos, but there's effort to stop that. However, habits live on.

Pros: 1. Flexible work hours 2. Free transportation (within 40 km radius) 3. Free food 4. Work-life balance is maintained

Cons: 1. No challenging problems to work on.

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.
