Pros

Few industries are more glamorous than travel. It can be fun and you can take pride in working for the leader in online travel. When you tell people where you work they always sing "dot com!" and usually start telling you about how they always use Expedia when they book a trip.

Cons

Don't expect much in the way of travel discounts. Friends will assume that you get great travel deals that just isn't the case since Expedia doesn't actually own the products it sells (hotel rooms, flights, rental cars, etc.). Also I have consistantly heard that internal applicants are lowballed on their new salaries when they get promoted. I haven't heard that from one or two people. At least 6 I'd say. That is very disheartening.

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.
