Pros

Super smart people and interesting ideas and ways of solving complex problems. I like the analystical way in which the business is run and the way decisions are made, it is all based on data. (that is sometimes good and bad). Depending on the team you can make your ideas become a reality so there can be a real sense of accomplishment. Lots of career growth and potential but you have to be prepared to move georgraphically if you really want your career to progress. Expedia is a leader in the on-line travel field so that is good. Great basket of brands that service different segments of the market.

Cons

Professional career pathing and training is not adequate especially at management levels. On the technical side of the business we have a lot of whizz kids but few compentent leaders and managers. It is hard to get this combination right. Compensation philosophy is not ideal as EI openly admits it pays at the 50% percentile of the market. Not sure if the grading and evaluation process is that transparent and don't believe that people are really rewarded for the hard work that they put into the business. It is easy to get lost in the shuffle because of the size of the company.

Pros

Good pay, supportive manager, and genuinely pleasant colleagues.

Cons

Frequent reorgs and shifting strategic direction made it difficult to build momentum or plan long‑term. Over time, contractor roles became increasingly narrow and production‑focused, which limited opportunities for meaningful skill development. Responsibilities that originally included project management were reduced to primarily email production work. There’s also a broader corporate pattern where work is expected to be completed exactly as written, with little room for judgment or improvement. Even small, quick optimizations can lead to pushback rather than appreciation, creating an environment where going “above and beyond” requires multiple layers of approval — which defeats the purpose of being proactive in the first place. Finally, there’s an in‑office expectation (less strict than for full‑time employees, but still present) for work that can be done entirely remotely. This tends to benefit highly social personalities, but for those who prefer focused, independent work, it feels unnecessary. Social dynamics also play a noticeable role; if you’re not immediately well‑liked or you make a single early mistake, it can create a self‑fulfilling perception that’s difficult to overcome.
