How long does it take to get final decisions after last round of interview from Expedia

Aug 6, 2021 14 Comments

I interviewed with Expedia few weeks back and the HR called me one week later told me I’m getting all positive feedback but to meet diversity requirements they need to keep interviewing more candidates from different backgrounds and will let me know this week. However today HR told me there are still more interviews and will contact me next week the earliest.
I wonder am I just a backup? If they always have to wait till they’re happy with the diversity wouldn’t they lose some promising candidates to other companies that take a action quicker?
Anyone who interviewed with them, please share some of your experiences with me. Thanks!

  • If you are a Asian/Indian/White man you will get an offer only if there are no women/Blacks/Hispanics/Native Americans/Pacific Islanders that are qualified for the job.

    In practical terms, you will get an offer if there are no qualified women. There is almost nobody from the other underrepresented groups that even applies.

      I see. It might be because of hesitancy due to travel and Expedia layoffs

      Or because of extremely long interview cycles. I had my first conversation with a recruiter in May and had my final interview the last week of July. Still no decision.

    I interviewed a couple weeks ago and also “had good feedback” but was told there were more candidates that the team wanted to talk with and that no decision was made yet.

    Be prepared for a slow process. I got a informal decision about me being selected in an hour after my final call with the hiring manager in the beginning of June. But here I am today, waiting for my visa transfer to finish and then decide a start date. The informal offer, getting the offer approved, accepting it, immigration(might not be true for everyone). Each of these phases are gonna take time.
