Great people, good work-life balance, but sclerotic bureaucracy and decision-making
Great people, good work-life balance, but sclerotic bureaucracy and decision-making
- Work/life balance is good.
- Most Expedia employees are friendly, helpful, and want to do the right thing.
- Many talented engineers and great technologies are being adopted.
- Fun teams with a global footprint and lots of opportunity for worldwide collaboration.
- Difficult to have much ownership over the direction of the company or even specific projects.
- Endless platform and data migrations.
- Cross-brand collaboration efforts are still a challenge, with politics playing an outsize role in decision making.
- Politics between product, design, engineering, and business stakeholders slows decision making, which distracts from building a great travel platform for customers and partners.
