Pros

Global Brand & Engineering Culture: Expedia is a well-known global travel tech company with a strong focus on engineering excellence. Teams in Gurugram often work on core global platforms, offering exposure to high-scale, real-world problems.

Hybrid/Remote Flexibility & Benefits: Employees generally enjoy good work-life balance with flexible working hours, a hybrid work model, and attractive perks like travel discounts, wellness programs, and comprehensive insurance.

Learning & Career Growth: The company promotes internal mobility, has learning budgets, and supports upskilling through internal tech talks, mentorship, and LinkedIn Learning access.

Cons

Org Restructures & Role Uncertainty: Expedia has undergone frequent restructures in the past, which sometimes leads to project/role uncertainty, especially in support or non-core engineering teams.

US-Centric Decision Making: While Gurugram teams are important, many strategic decisions and key projects are driven from Seattle or other US offices, which can limit autonomy for India teams.

Pace & Legacy Systems: Some teams deal with legacy platforms or slower migration efforts, which may frustrate engineers looking for fast-paced greenfield work or cutting-edge tech stacks.
