Expedia Group reviews

Every company has organizations that run counter to the cultural norm. Local Expert is one of those groups inside Expedia. The desire to win has created a culture where the ends justify the means. Employees are publically shamed and belittled in an effort to create urgency. Work is micromanaged and second guessed while communication is poor and decisions are made with little transparency. Ideas that do not fit with leadership’s preconceived assumptions are devalued. Performance goals are often based on opinion rather than data and are subject to change making it difficult to measure your accomplishments. The result of this environment is widespread mistrust, a lack of loyalty to the organization and an unwillingness to try new things or take risks to avoid negative consequences. Career development is rarely discussed and employees are given little support when seeking new opportunities. If you really want to work at Expedia (because overall it’s a great company) and Local Expert is your foot in the door then have a thick skin, understand the environment you are joining and take every opportunity to network with colleagues in other groups which are more aligned to the overall corporate culture.

Office politics are a killing your company. There seems to be a lot of incompetent Muppets in London. I had the unfortunate pleasure for working with Miss Piggy, Statler, Waldorf and Beaker in my team. The benefits suck. I don't want 2% off this and that, I want proper benefits....
