Expedia Group

It is the people that make Expedia what it is. There are a lot of like-minded people in this organization: intelligent, ambitious, and with a passion for life and a love of travel. "Work hard/play hard" is something I've heard many times. I have met many great friends whilst working here, and although it is hard work, in my experience, this is often rewarded.

Change is a constant in this organization, and it makes it a great place to work. However, there appears to be a constant urge for organizational change from senior leadership.

This is often demoralizing, and I do not think the soft impacts on people through uncertainty and low morale are considered, nor the effect it has on our ability to be as efficient as possible.

Great teams manage themselves if you let them.

As a result of the fast pace of the organization, the work/life balance is questionable at times. This has been possible because employees are committed, but most recently, I have not seen staff recognized as they were in the past.

Small token gestures when teams work late and weekends go a long way and will ensure those team members will want to do it again should they be needed in the future.

Make decisions and stick with them.
