WLB - ✅ WFH - depends on team. But mostly it’s allowed. Nice People - I think everyone around me are nice expect one or two douchebags Good benefits- Hell Yeah.
WLB-largely depends on your level and your team. WFH-depends on the team, I’ve transitioned to wfh because wlb is nonexistent Nice people -generally yes Good benefits-idk why everyone is super excited, you get healthcare and 401K. The rest is perks that are slowly being phased out.
Yes but only in the Chicago office.
Wlb is great for half your team. The other half is working like a dog to get the work done. So it depends on how much you value your output quality.
Pay is low and tech talent is really low compared to other companies. Not the best place for long term career growth.
Second that!
I’d say in general that Expedia is not a good place to grow your tech career if you have more than 3+ years experience as a developer. Expedia is a travel company and they have shown that they either can’t or won’t invest in good tech talent to create high quality and innovative products. It’s a good place to settle and have good WLB. If you are hungry and want to work with other passionate people I’d say look elsewhere.
WLB - depends on your level and if you have teams in other timezones that you need to work with. Flexible WFH - highly depends on manager. Ask your manager how many times he/she works from home. Repeat the question to the team Nice people - depends on your being a good fit, team culture wise Good benefits - better than some but not great like Microsoft (obviously)
Also career wise - super slow growth! Don't even imagine being promoted, especially if you are not in league with political favorites.
Yes, there were many promos from level 1 to 2 and associate to 1. Moving from 2 to higher has not happened as much, plus this year was unique in the number of promos. Secondly, extrapolating your experience to imply that the current scenario across the company is the same, is not necessarily what the person who wants widespread info is looking for.
PayPal is better, I want to go there
It really depends on the team.

Avoid teams with only Chinese or Indians especially with a Chinese/Indian manager
Yes, Yes, no one can say that, better than Amazon and many other companies.
Are you working at Expedia now? What made you leave amazon and what do you like about expedia?
My girl friend works in Expedia. I’m currently at Amazon.
