Pros

The team I joined at Expedia's Brisbane office was the best one I've worked in in my career so far. It was NOT your run of the mill team - it was (actually) diverse, *extremely* progressive with tech (eg lots of Kotlin and FP, not just 90s style tech) and always open to trying out new things. Comp, benefits, work life balance and remote opportunities were *excellent*, and everyone was super friendly and encouraging, with zero tolerance for toxic tech-bro attitudes. *Highly*, *highly* recommend. I only left because life took me elsewhere, otherwise I'd very happily have stayed.

Cons

Not all teams are necessarily the same. Some teams may or may not have all the pros I enjoyed and listed above. Also, the wider organization is so-so with the usual corporate nonsense. Lots of reorgs, pointless churn, bad processes, hoop jumping, outright incompetent people in positions high and low... But if you're lucky enough to be in a good team, that can isolate you from a lot of that.

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.
