Lead by Example and make others to the same, no exceptions.
Pros
Expedia is a fast paced fun environment. People are passionate about what they do here and it's an exciting industry. Still feels like a start up. Small enough yet big enough. Innovation and great thinking still going on. People are generally very nice. You get the tools you need to do your work. You have a nice working environment in a nice area and free soda! Overall, Expedia has been a very positive and enjoyable working experience for me. Definitely one of the better places to work and the pay and benefits are competitive but could be improved to be more competetive.
Cons
Things take too long to get done. They say their most important asset is their people. They need to prove that and not just say it. I think alot of people feel that they are easily replaceable and not valued as much as they should be. I see alot of managers work their staff very hard and not be too concerned about work/life balance. I see managers who are not ethical and they don't work very hard and yet they expect their teams to work very very hard and give up alot. Great companies have great managers who set great examples and we lack a bit of that here at Expedia.
