Expedia Group reviews

A parody of a corporate. Work results are being measured by how much time you spent in office (on assigned seats and assigned days, as in a literal after school club for toddlers; only thing missing is an embroidery class to sew your initials onto your jacket) and quantity, quality is a foreign concept to the managers who are so out of touch and incapable, it's sometimes impressive to see. Floor managers are mostly kinder garden teachers at it's best, with little knowledge of the work, field, market or any capability of leading people. Resulting in managers walking around floors and sneaking on where people are and if they god forbid didn't come or leave 5 minutes later or earlier, as they have literally nothing better to do or say. Time management I have no words to describe rather than a joke to everyone involved, as all meetings starts few minutes late, due to poor time management of the leadership, resulting in sending out work emails and little "role-play requests" /what the refer to as training, as that is another department lacking/ on the weekends, as example Sundays at 12.00am. I would rather defecate in my hands and clap than ever sign the contract again, or yet worse, refer someone to work here. If you are being hunted by a recruiter, or considering to apply for any position there, run as fast as you can. Even though the work offer are presented as account management (interview doesn't correspond to the actual workflow whatsoever), THIS IS A CALL CENTER, where work is measured by the lengths of calls and not quality of the job. Horrendous working practices, workflow in extremely toxic and hostile working environment. Only bearable part of the work are all the depressed and demotivated employees, who has been tricked into accepting the offer. If you speak up, you will be punished or threatened with terminating the contract, both in low minion roles and mid-management. No career growth, no career development or learning opportunities; no possibilities to increase your salary to match the market rate, as publicly explained by the director that Expedia is in a debt since Covid and employees should be glad to even have a job, as the unemployment rate in USA raiser (completely irrelevant to European standarts).

There's no ownership of the product. After several re-orgs and bad organisational and tech decisions, all good experienced developers left. As a consequence tech standards are very low, It didn't used to be like that. We were proud of what we deployed to production, we had ownership and control over all parts of the process, from the idea, development, deployment processes till monitoring and maintaining it stable. The company culture promotes "stay in your lane" kind of thinking. Be prepared to be bored out of your mind. All processes are all very slow moving. There's too many politics, management trying to push each other out, Be warned of layoffs. Like any corporation, they'll make you want to be part of a "family"... but then one day you learn someone got laid off because leadership changed and cut without looking. CEO and everybody at the top get ridiculous amount of compensation compared to the rest.
