      I have been working at Expedia Group (More than 5 years)

      Pros

      The work culture is unparalleled in that there really is little room for "politics". Colleagues are very helpful and supportive and its simply fun to work in such an environment. There is ample chance to have a diverse career both in terms of remit and in terms of location. It is very simple to talk to Senior Execs and the resulting culture tends to be very open for dialogue. I believe whilst pay is not the most competitive at my level the balance of work/life, culture and benefits makes up for it.

      Cons

      The Company is becoming more centralised which is a necessary thing but can lead to a slightly more "top down" approach. There also has been a clear trend back to headquarters in Seattle for key decision making which is a watch-out depending on what you are looking for. Also it is probably best to be a specialist vs a generalist due to the centralisation of these functions. A watchout to those not in HQ is that now in the global work process you can have meetings early Mornings or late at nights and need to be careful to balance this. If you are able to then you can have a good work/life balance but it is tricky for many people (especially with families)

      Advice to Management

      -Find ways to allow more work within regular time-zones
      -balance away slightly from the pure data driven T&L culture to slightly more innovation
      -take slightly more controlled risk

      Pros

      Flexibility to work remotely and opportunities for career progression

      Cons

      Sometimes politics and too many people involved in projects slow everything down to a point that what could have been a good idea, when it gets implemented, is not anymore

      Advice to Management

      Focus on our audiences more than in our competitors

    4. "Limited growth, political environment"

      I have been working at Expedia Group full-time (More than 3 years)

      Pros

      Plethora of technologies to work on. Though as a brand, they try to follow in the footsteps of the GAFA companies rather than being a leader at innovation.

      Cons

      - Limited growth opportunities despite many open-ended discussions with Senior Management and Leadership
      - A very heavy political arena to deal with where the employee is always being scrutinized
      - Advertises "open culture" - but far from being one
      - The brand just looks for "Delivery junkies" rather than industry leaders/innovators

      Advice to Management

      Please review employee feedback and act upon them swiftly, instead of just rolling out fancy management tools to collect them and ignore !!!

      Pros

      Friendly environment, weekly events, and fun atmosphere

      Advice to Management

      Focus on the employee more than the business sometimes it does help to continue drive the entire team to a success, I believe organising yourself to have time for everyone in your team and assessing the business priorities it does contribute to the success of any business with great growth future expectations

      Pros

      Opportunity to work for different brands and fast paced. Generous maternity.

      Cons

      High turnover in last year, especially in EPS.
      Culture in EPS Finance is poor, lots of people looking over their shoulder as they are concerned about their jobs. Unfortunately, a real lack of confidentiality which leads to a fairly unpleasant environment.

      Advice to Management

      Address confidentiality issues.

      Pros

      Friendliest people I've ever worked with, no matter which country or role they are in.
      Trust and flexibility to manage your work/life balance
      Frequently feedback to help you grow
      Lots of room to learn and try new things
      Cares about people

      Cons

      If you're not self disciplined/organised, I can see how the amount of space/people and things you can potentially do, would make it hard to focus here and create value.

      Advice to Management

      Keep role modelling the guiding principles, and help your teams focus. Do less at any one time, to do more in the long run.
