Expedia Group sortware developer reviews

The Expedia.com brand and the Bellevue headquarters is definitely the center of the EXPE universe and all is not well there. Turnover is staggering and a 'Not Invented Here' syndrome due to the Microsoft heritage has crippled the technical architecture. Despite the problems with the mother ship, branch brands/offices are frequently second guessed, and crippled with head count freezes and budget restrictions. Business executive leadership and technology leadership are frequently not on the same page and often work at odds due to the combination of matrix org structure and geographic dispersion. In the case of the Dallas office, where Hotels.com is headquartered, the entire technology organization is being nuked in favor of offshore development (despite assurances just a few months ago that nothing of the sort was in the works). Sr. Executives (SVP and CTO) make all the calls in the technology organization and are often grossly misinformed, leading to reckless decision making.

Individual with the potential to blossom but lacks prior experience are currently not valued within the company. The company is at a stage where they are seeking only candidates with at minimum moderate amount of industry experience, especially so with in the quality organization. At this point in time, this company is not a place where college graduate should carelessly dabble with. Expedia right now is not geared to foster innovation and have the capability to leverage it to change how online travel is done.
