Pros

- Travel is a great industry. - Expedia is the online leader by a great %. - Lots of money and resources. - Work with very smart, motivated people.

Cons

- Over matrixed organization leads to overlapping job responsibilities, unclear goals, and no accountability on the business side. - Leadership team is so focused on their own success and careers that they do not focus on their team's skill or career development, listen to feedback from their employees, or consider the long term ramification of their decisions. - Because there have been so many reorganizations, priorities change constantly and have a long term result of inefficient use of resources and a lack of focus on improving the user experience. The sites are falling behind quickly in terms of UI functionality due to the lack of consistent focus, clear priorities and relative long development cycles compared to competitors.

Pros

Expedia is the market leader in online travel. If you're interested in working in travel, this is a great place to be. The technology team is still reasonably good, and you should have lots of room for personal growth. The executive team is very business-savy, and has managed to keep the company growing over the years.

Cons

Technology decisions are usually made top-down from executives who don't understand the reality of the decisions they're making. This has resulted in some terrible decisions that over the years that has resulted in most of the original top talent fleeing the company. The executive team doesn't place a high value on recruiting and retaining top technical talent. They recently cut all stock compensation for all but a tiny select few, and have started relying heavily on offshore outsourcing companies. Politics dominates many areas of the company.
