Pros

These things are extremely team-dependent. My manager was crazy, and she made everyone in the team crazy. I worked here for 5 months and there were no pros.

Cons

Never ending. HR is extremely corrupt. They would go to any lengths to make sure that they win at the end. Office politics at the heights. Lots of people who have been working here for 20+ years have HR in their pockets, and run the company like crazy animals. Leaders are always worried and ask their juniors to not show leadership, instead focus on the set of responsibilities given. Onboarding doesnt happen properly. Resources are grossly mismanaged, and the managers do whatever they want - without fear of consequences. If you find yourself working for a manager who has been at Expedia for 15+ years, just run away. If someone has survived here that long, they are at the heights of office politics, and HR will never go against them.

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.
