Pros

Expedia acquired Wotif, and I was offered a position to continue working at Expedia.

Cons
  • VPs from Expedia don't seem to understand Wotif employees.
  • Take it or leave it kind of contract, where the role is never mentioned. So if an employee is not happy with a new role, there is nothing to do apart from leaving the company.
  • Really poor salary; no increases were offered.
  • Longer and less flexible working hours. Expedia might also expect you to work during your weekends or evenings.
  • Almost every benefit given by Expedia is legally minimum (such as personal leave).
Advice to Management

Don't think that you're at the same level as Google. Google innovates and engineers the future. Google also cares about their employees.
