Pros

Only pro is the salary and office premises.

Cons

Every year there is a re-org and then around 1500 to 2000 FTEs are laid off. This has become a regular trend here at Expedia and no job security whatsoever. Team members who were on Paternity or Maternity were fired, a member was promoted in Mar and then fired in April - what kind of decision making is this?? This thing happened in 2024 as well as 2025. Very unstable environment and for no reason suddenly resources are chopped off saying that re-aligning for better business outcomes and efficiency, and at the other end they will hire people again to meet the same fate. BE WARE OF JOINING EG, IF YOU WANT MENTAL PEACE THEN AVOID THIS HORRIFIC COMPANY. DON'T ALWAYS GO FOR MONEY, try to join a stable org on a little less compensation. THIS REVIEW IS BASED ON MY ACTUAL EXPERIENCES.

Pros

Incredible benefits! Quality, affordable medical insurance, 401k, wellness reimbursement, travel reimbursement, plenty of PTO, etc. They have fresh food cooked daily for breakfast and lunch, available for purchase. They also have free food, such as yogurt cups, cheese sticks, and shelf-stable fruits available to all employees. The benefits keep many of us here. I will say, have had two supervisors so far, and they’ve each been great. Very understanding, yet motivating. I haven’t yet met a supervisor who didn’t value their supervisees.

Cons

The main digital platforms we use do not function efficiently, which makes a noticeable impact on our work. On a perfect day, you’ll still spend 8-12 minutes per hour waiting on load screens, but we have experienced days in which the sites were down for about 6 hours within an 8 hour day. I feel that our quarterly goals are not constructed with this in mind. Another major con is—like many places now—job security is an issue. AI is taking over the job of many employees, and while we’re told to embrace it, it’s difficult to do so when you could walk in any day and be told to pack your things.
