Pros

You are not just "another body" at Expedia--you are a somebody. Granted, there are exceptions within the company which may have a different group dynamic or personal hardships for people. But for yours truly who has worked at two major companies over the past 18 years (Microsoft being one) the old adage "third time's a charm" holds true. The worst here at Expedia is the best I've had at other companies. It truly is a great place to work, and I still have a smile on my face when coming into the office each day. I saw some headers of the other reviews prior to submitting my own, and all I can say is they must not have had enough years in their careers or worked at other companies. (A frog in a well cannot see the ocean.) For me, this is the first company I can seriously consider retiring with. Expedia is a big company but still has the charm of a smaller one. There is no true perfect place to work for all have their pros & cons, it's just how you perceive things along with the attitude you present to your co-workers and management. If you are a hard worker, you will be appreciated here at Expedia. In life and work is there really no greater reward? I thank God each and every day for the hardships I’ve slogged-through at other companies, otherwise, Expedia would just be another place to work instead of *THE* place to work for me. I’m here on Saturday (of my own free will mind you) and still have a smile on my face.

Cons

It's a 27-minute drive into work (each way). Other than that, I'm still thinking...

Pros

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

Cons

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.
