Expedia Group reviews

They don't walk their corporate values talk and haven't for a long time. Comp is way below market rate. Bonus is contingent on number success variables so we'd gotten our full bonus 1 time in 5 years. Bloated levels of upper/senior management with high salaries and no productivity. These folk weren't laid off when high performing ICs were cut instead. Calls for management to explain themselves in terms of protecting their own were totally disregarded which has only sapped post-layoff morale even more.

After years of stable growth, Expedia is going through some turbulent management changes and reorganization. It has become immensely more bureaucratic in recent years. Lots of top down decision making has led to more internal politics where saying “yes” and “how high/fast” is valued over critical thought. Just make sure you deliver a winning test at all cost, including playing with the numbers if necessary. This has limited true innovation leading to the site and core platform falling behind. Since everyone is focused though on tests, even if superficial, core operations get neglected. Individual contributions are also valued over team or organizational contributions leading to inefficiency, randomization and infighting.
