Cons
Only applies to Vietnam: the lean technology/startup culture, however, isn't translated to the regional level. The regional office is operated like a hierarchy with communication going down through 3-4 levels leading to an incredible excess of deficiency. Politics and favoritism play a significant role in one's success forcing employees to have to play along with the leader's agenda in order to get recognized. Local management is incapable of building the team's capabilities on the core functions of their jobs, much less developing employees to grow in other advanced areas of their careers. While Expedia builds industry-leading products and provides industry-leading solutions, the politics depreciate the value of the company and discourage employees from doing things differently to their own strength.
