Good opportunity but issues with Discrimination
Pros
Nice office, good opportunities to share ideas and understand other teams challenges, plus decent maternity. Can progress if you are passionate and can improve processes by working with other teams better. Some very good mentors and access to external training programs and study support. Lots of presenting so a good opportunity to improve presentation and communication skills.
Cons
Unfortunately, some employees share discriminatory remarks openly against African Americans/Asians and Muslims. After reporting to management of having discriminatory remarks told to me personally I was advised to think twice before taking further action. A few examples of incidents which I was involved in or was in the vicinity: an employee mentioned that a particular race are all thieves and Mosques should be outlawed in the US. An employee mentioned that an Indian colleague wears curry cologne. In a meeting someone suggested that having a majority of white people working at Expedia is due to natural selection. After having a call with an Indian person the employee then imitated an Indian accent openly in the office and others laughed and encouraged them. An employee (Manager Level) of southern European origin working in London advised that all races should stay in their own country. Whilst this is certainly not representative of the majority these were unpleasant experiences.
