Pros

I worked for Expedia for 6 years. They used to be the company portrayed in the video, but no longer.

They are squeezing everyone from every angle now. They are losing market share and have a ton of competition from other startups doing it better and cheaper.

Cons

Management is now profit-driven and they ignore the employees; there is no joy left in this company.

They are shrinking the corporate offices. It used to be 3 people per row, but now it's 4-5.

They are no longer the advocate for the employees they once claimed to be. I left recently for a more friendly and less hostile environment.

Most of my friends there have left since the re-org and internal culture shift.

Advice to Management

Get rid of the pretentious attitudes and empire builders. So many of the people left there are so arrogant.

Listen to the video of them telling you how smart everyone is. They tell you and tell you and never let you forget.

Managers treat employees like invisible robots; they ignore basic HR policy and practices.

Too many non-US employees. I am all for diversity, but they intentionally drive out local people in favor of cheaper offshore workers. Local workers are often discriminated against, in my experience.

They have absolutely no loyalty at all to workers, having been there for many years. Sad it wasn't that way five years ago, but everything changes.
