Expedia Group reviews

The leadership is really unorganized, I mean VP's and up. Re-Orgs every few months and nobody had any clue why or what the point is, seems like "re orgs" are just a curtain behind layoffs as re org and lay offs come together. Promotion culture is really bad. They don't emphasize or see promotions as a importance. People who deserve to get promoted and work extra hours don't get promoted, and people who don't deserve it sometimes get it, it really doesn't make sense. You don't seem to get anything from working extra hard, some people truly want to and have the motivation but when its not seen people loose motivation. I'm a senior but if I was entry level I would want to avoid expedia if i could. They don't really care about personal skill growth and giving you whats needed to master the domain. This is very not efficient, if you want great engineers who can propel the company to be be a top tech company then you should invest in the young engineers, its worth it. They don't know how to lay off, I have seen the most talented engineers we have laid off, just have us re hire someone worse a few months later. We loose great talent because of this. Lay offs will always happen for sure, but as someone who has worked in three major tech companies I can say that Expedia doesn't know how to lay offs correctly and its a big mess and a lot of times they lay off the wrong people.

I was laid off at the beginning of May. The process was unnecessarily callous, with multiple people brought into a 30 minute zoom call, just for an unknown HR Rep talking at you for 4 minutes telling you this is your last day of work. No communication from the people teams in regards to returning your equipment, I basically had to drop it off at the front door with less than a thank you. I was told I'd have priority when applying to the company again. I have applied to 23 other roles that I was qualified for some even clearing qualifications by 3+ years only to be turned down within 43 minutes of applying.
