Once an Incredible Technology Company That's Become an Average Travel Company
Pros
Expedia is the market leader in online travel. If you're interested in working in travel, this is a great place to be. The technology team is still reasonably good, and you should have lots of room for personal growth. The executive team is very business-savy, and has managed to keep the company growing over the years.
Cons
Technology decisions are usually made top-down from executives who don't understand the reality of the decisions they're making. This has resulted in some terrible decisions that over the years that has resulted in most of the original top talent fleeing the company. The executive team doesn't place a high value on recruiting and retaining top technical talent. They recently cut all stock compensation for all but a tiny select few, and have started relying heavily on offshore outsourcing companies. Politics dominates many areas of the company.
