Very Supportive Direct Management
Very Supportive Direct Management
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.
There is a disconnect between leadership and tech as far as understanding what our problems are and why we can't build things fast.
Expedia has been around for a long time, and for most of the time it's been around, there has been limited effort to clean up code, leaving a lot of half-implemented or hacky 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.
Invest in our strengths and trim the fat around the edges. The pricing engines are the crown jewels of the company, and we invest far more in iterative features in the UI than we do in building a strong foundation. There's a reason many of our core services are pushing 20 years in age.
