Expedia Group Reviews

Pros

Amazing team to work with, and a good company to work at in the travel industry. You get to be part of an industry-leading company while work-life balance is still achievable in the Market Associate position.

Cons

There aren't too many cons about working at Expedia. There are less career opportunities for moving up in the company and less benefits in Canada compared to in the States, but still in line with many other related companies.

Advice to Management

We have a great management team here in Canada, and all the way up to the top to Dara and Mark, too.

Pros

Fun place to work, meet great people

Cons

Management lots of culture change.

Pros

Expedia is a a forward thinking leader in the tech industry, that happens to sell travel. It’s amazing the insights they have and I really loved being able to build the Expedia network in my area

Cons

I was home based and even though they really tried a lot to keep the teams connected, it was really hard not to be in the office and feel like I’m missing a huge part of the corporate culture. There was also A LOT of traveling, which personally was a con but some people might like it

Pros

CruiseDesk is a one stop shop making doing the work easy and efficient. It makes it easy for consultants with no training to get in the business.

Cons

Not all franchises are structured the same so support varies from location to location. This is commission only so a second job or source of income is required. Information about what was happening within the franchise and company was lacking. Would have been nice for the consultants to hear from corporate more than just once a year.

Advice to Management

Remember the success of the business relies on the success of the consultants. Treat them well and you will all win in the end.

Pros

The best part of working at Expedia is the team Lots of flexibility

Cons

Limited h opportunities outside the US

Pros

Decent base salary, with bonus structure built in each quarter. Good wellness benefits and you get to travel to the different markets you cover and have the flexibility to work from different offices.

Cons

Poor leadership skills within management. Company preaches work-life-balance, but Management you report to really doesn’t care about your well being. Offices can be very divided and full of cliques. Hard to be promoted unless you want to transfer to a different position with Egencia or Travel Ads.

Advice to Management

Hire Area Managers that genuinely want to see their team succeed instead of ones who micro manage and try to make a name for themselves amongst senior leadership. Senior Leadership walks around like they are untouchable, have no time for you and can come off as very hostile.

Pros

Fun, fairly relaxed and interesting challenges

Cons

Politics can get heavy and annoying

Pros

The tech is good, and there's a lot of opportunity to contribute with new ways and new paradigms. Theres a culture where trying something new is encouraged, even if failure is part of the equation. Even today, there's tremendous growth, amazing cooperation within the engineering organization and fantastic perks for employees. The people are smart, driven, and focused on real solutions with meaningful results for... customers and partners.

Cons

Much of the leadership is absolutely clueless about the possibilities in front of them, leading to vague requirements, urgent demands that come out of nowhere and little to no adoption of new, innovative projects throughout the larger group. All the big wigs making decisions are concentrated in one office, which leads to awful communication and planning with other offices. New ideas that relate to travelling at... large but are not directly, explicitly linked to selling more hotels are seen as unproductive and pushed aside, counter to the guiding principles the CEO likes to talk about so much.

Advice to Management

Read the guiding principles of the organization again. We can never achieve Expedia's overarching goals if Expedia is not willing to rework its current online experience to better match the traveller's journey from a customer's dream through to booking.
