Expedia Group reviews

-While constantly updating the entry salaries for new hires, the management struggles at adjusting previous ones, creating embarrassing situations in which the gap between fresh new hires and much more experienced employees is much lower than it should. They "regularly" adjust it, but the current politics about it creates a lot of easily avoidable frustration. -The company gives you many occasions to give your opinions about the management, the company in general, and sometimes about future relevant changes in the working policy. Unfortunately though some episodes showed that, when it's convenient to the management and despite what's being told you, your opinions are worthless. Although there's been a considerable staff turnover in the management since when I started working there, said episodes created dangerous precedents. Some decisions show a less than crystalline attitude towards the "lower ranks", with some not indifferent changes being only partially explained to you unless you actively inquire about them. -The cooperation between departments leaves a lot of room for improvement, especially when it comes to collaborating with the in market departments. -The trainings are very hit and miss in terms of how good your preparation at the end. Their importance is also quite relative because, depending on the necessities of the team you're working for, you might be requested to cover some tasks that go beyond your role. -While them changing keeps things quite fresh all the times, the procedures are often pointlessly complicated, needing for some apparently banal tasks the involvement of multiple departments (which often leads to stretching of the timeframe), and many systems which are clunky, outdated, and not integrated with each other. -Being a good team member is a double-edged sword, because you might ending up receiving extra tasks to cover issues created by other departments. To put it short, instead of fixing the issue at the source, they tend to overload competent workers because it's safer and easier. -The career chances at the Prague office have drastically been reduced in some departments in the course of the last year because of some highly questionable changes in the hiring and promoting politics, generating an aggravating sense of stagnation for long-staying employees. The recruitment teams are also sometimes very lackluster and sloppy in their processes. -While quite extensive, the list of benefits could easily drop some of the most useless ones and try to get on the level with some of the most competitive in the market, and the company is honestly quite stingy when it comes to pay extras.

Compensation below actual Prague level. New hires might get higher salary than someone who is 3-4 years in the company (regardless of experience and qualification).
