Pros

The benefits package is great. Not only the 'normal' benefits that you get at a company, but being part of the Expedia network, there were a number of perks and discounts that you would get on travel.

Cons

Projects that I was working on kept having more and more layers of management added to them, until the managers were outnumbering the contributors. Scope creep was inevitable, and projects that should have been pushed live months in advance got held up with "wait, one more feature before we release."

Advice to Management

Reduce the layers of middle management and move in a more agile manner, releasing code more frequently and iterating based upon feedback.
