Egencia is shit company imo! Pay is super low and 80% of the tech crowd which is Orbitz folks are not even averagely smart at Chicago and maybe France offices. Bellevue seems better because better market and hq maybe. Sde2 and senior folks don’t take much ownership, company politics and people know it is slow but everyone either pretends to be happy or have reached their limit. Anyone else had such experience especially new grads?
How about work at Expedia but invest in FAANG so you get the upside. TC doesn't have to exclude non wage gains.
There’s not enough money left to invest that makes a difference
Options, can give you plenty of leverage. If you really believe in growth of FAANG.
But again with faang salary I can invest in more options than I can with Expedia’s pay.
High COL
What is Egencia?
One of the brands of Expedia Group which is for Corporate or Business travel
How much is your TC?
What data structures and other questions do they ask for in interviews? What's been the on-site pass rate lately?
I recently left Expedia, 2015/2016 it was a great place to work. Pay was comparable to Microsoft at my level. A lot of top talent left for HomeAway after the acquisition - the rest dispersed across other big local tech companies. Honestly the current CEO is a joke, company priorities have little to do with challenging top talent.
Orbitz merger turned Egencia into an oligarchy. “Lead humbly” is a joke.
I have the distinctive displeasure of working with Egencia in Australia and this is hands down the most uncoordinated, unnecessarily convoluted and complex, misleading, poorly Managed as overall bullshit company I have ever had the misfortune of being associated with. The overall leader for this business must be a yoga master - coz his head is so far up his own rear end its incredible. If I could undo my choice to work here I would! Please please please avoid joining this massive mess of a business!

Which company is best to have on your resume?
If you want better skilled coworkers go to a FAANG/M or a hot startup like uber that can pay as much as FAANG. With Expedia you get average talent and pay. But keep in mind that wlb is in most cases directly proportional to TC, so don’t come back to blind whining about wlb when you go to top tier companies
Who wants wlb anyways?
I was under the delusion that things will become better with a different team but that didn’t work out. Already have offers from faang. Let’s see how that goes
