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.
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.

Everyone was very friendly. While some of the interviewers were undoubtedly great developers, they weren't exactly great interviewers. They were all mostly nice and easy to get along with, but I could tell some of them had not interviewed people bef
Expedia came to campus back in November, and I had completely missed them. While they were here, they hired two friends of mine for the summer, and I was worried I had missed the boat. I applied online to Bellevue and Chicago in November, and they se
