Pros

Good pay and benefits. if you speak 3 or 4 languages then you can move to many places.

Kontras

The company is a dinosaur who is playing catch up with booking.com, they copy a lot of booking com but they claim that they are better. You get paid more than the average industry but gonna make you work twice as much, there is a reason their work force is way smaller in comparison to the competition. A lot of managers who happened to be there when Expedia first expanded into their market, no leadership skills. The company has a disease called meetings for the sake of meetings, almost 8 hours out of 40 week is wasted on meetings and calls. A lot of bragging takes place at these meetings about achievements that never happened cause there is no way to measure it. lots of politics and it is very very very hard to move up once you inside the company. better reapply and wait for the right role for you, so never downgrade for the sake of working for a big name. last thing never trust the HR department, first they don't exist and if you raise an issue they will come after you and it doesn't matter if you are right.

Pros

Constant state of transformation is ripe environment for new hires and functional experts from big name tech companies

Kontras

Pre-covid the culture was really special. Collaborative, engaging, people-centric, with a unifying mission to enable travel for the world. Since covid there has been a revolving door of executive leadership, and with each round, they throw out the current strategy to try something "new" without building from the current or past successes. Constant change, but no clear vision or strategy of what they are trying to change to. Lack of strategy and low risk tolerance leads to too many priorities with not enough investment to move the needle in anything. Quarterly layoffs, but executed quietly team by team so as not to make news. No psychological safety. Talent strategy since covid is to hire externally over internal promotions to gain "functional expertise" therefore difficult to grow your career. Siloed divisions not working towards common goal. Lacks operating model maturity needed for a company of this size likely do to revolving door of execs and priorities. A cash cow company with an identity crisis trying to be an AI innovator. Build vs buy mentality slows them down. Too many exec pet projects that aren't vetted with proper business cases.
