Expedia Group reviews

- Generally poor middle management and heavy politics at management levels - Some engineering teams have bad ratios of technical product managers/engineering managers to developers that create too much overhead and slow initiatives down - Very unclear promotion paths and requirements. This causes a clash between the diversity initiatives and the meritocracy that the company preaches and can lead to a sentiment of unfairness during promotion cycles. - Overall average engineering quality with some exceptions. Unable to maintain solid talent from leaving to other companies in the area (seems like Amazon is becoming a top destination) - Expedia advertises itself as a tech company, but the culture of average compensation makes the company lag behind tech companies in the area. - Constantly playing catch-up to competitors which creates less opportunities to pursue features that innovate or distinguish Expedia in the market - Some product decisions feel short-sighted. Just because the conversion numbers are good does not mean it is good in the long run.

Can sometimes feel difficult to drive change, as the business is so vast. Change can be quite slow-paced at times, because of this.
