Pros
- Work/Life balance (if you don't listen to gossips) - Some travel benefits (if you make an effort to find them) - Good name (Internet company) to put it on your resume if you want to move on to start ups
Cons
This company is extremely political (more so than companies 5 times bigger). People may smile at you but the underlying culture is very toxic with constant backstabbing. There is not enough work and people constantly fight each other to get the piece of work to do. Most of technologies Expedia is using is very ancient. Employees constantly talk about how Expedia is better than big name companies like Amazon and Microsoft when in fact, Expedia compensation and benefits are below average. There is no upward mobility at all unless you have some connections to upper management. If you have multiple offers, please consider other options. Otherwise, be prepared to search for new jobs after a year as this is not a long term place to grow your career.
