Pros

Free food and Cab facility.

Cons

There are several cons with this company because of their leadership and management. I have worked with Expedia Group gurgaon over 4.5 years in NOC. Here is my thoughts 1. LACK OF LEADERSHIP: Till date, I am failed to understand are some people in NOC relatives of the Owner of the company because there is no reason for them to keep them in NOC. 2. BUSINESS LOSS: Outages are uncontrable, lack of clarity, highly sensitive environment with no backup or redundancy plan, Buy costly technologies but handover to inefficient managers. Highly demanding and stressful environment. Though some higher people enjoy reimbursements of their personal bills in the name of team lunch / dinners. 3. INTERNAL POLITICS AND WORST ETHICS: Inside the promotions are not based on performance or work you carry. It is totally depend on how much time one spend in cafeteria building their personal relationships at the cost of company. Offer some free drinks to foreign leaders take them on free luxury trips, offer everything they want specifically that feed their lust and a promotion to a rank of manager or leaders is for sure. There are many people across expedia who are worst performers but become manager just for that reason. 4. LACK OF COMMUNICATIONS: Maximum communications in the company is with the immediate boss who usually are threatening employees to cost his job if says against him. Sr leaders or directors do not talk to their skip level employees to burst the politics bubble and works only on decades old FEEDBACK system. People are frustrated as no one is there to hear them. All good employees either wish to leave or already left. 5. SINKING SHIP: Whatever is told by leadership in fansy magazines but the reality of wrapping up most of Expedia businesses are due to internal leadership problems than external factors like COVID or travel industry. 6. CARRIER DEATH: Its a clear carrier death as Expedia uses latest technology by putting old people same like buying a Ferrari and running at Maruti 800 style.

Pros

Incredible benefits! Quality, affordable medical insurance, 401k, wellness reimbursement, travel reimbursement, plenty of PTO, etc. They have fresh food cooked daily for breakfast and lunch, available for purchase. They also have free food, such as yogurt cups, cheese sticks, and shelf-stable fruits available to all employees. The benefits keep many of us here. I will say, have had two supervisors so far, and they’ve each been great. Very understanding, yet motivating. I haven’t yet met a supervisor who didn’t value their supervisees.

Cons

The main digital platforms we use do not function efficiently, which makes a noticeable impact on our work. On a perfect day, you’ll still spend 8-12 minutes per hour waiting on load screens, but we have experienced days in which the sites were down for about 6 hours within an 8 hour day. I feel that our quarterly goals are not constructed with this in mind. Another major con is—like many places now—job security is an issue. AI is taking over the job of many employees, and while we’re told to embrace it, it’s difficult to do so when you could walk in any day and be told to pack your things.
