Hi there! I borrowed my friend’s account. I’m a senior student and I want to ask about the green card application policy of expedia as well. I don’t know which company I should choose for now. Thank you so much for any sharing. (I know both of them has obvious disadvantages)

    I interviewed at Redfin last year for an internship and I would still recommend them. When I interviewed in person, the people were really nice and down to earth. The company is doing really well too and I’ve heard great things about their internship program!

    I don’t know much about Expedia’s internship program but congratulations on both offers!

      Thanks! I take expedia into account because the size of expedia is larger than Redfin. I have already interned for an startup, so I might want to change to a larger size company. I still cannot decide it. Thank you for your sharing!

    I think you should join whichever company that replied first to your post :)

    I don't think Redfin will cancel any 2021 internship based on the numbers from our most recent earnings.

    Im not at Redfin anymore but mentored an intern while I was there. IMO its a really great internship experience, and most likely your work will be used in prod and impactful

    there is also a very organized learning track/ramp up process for fullstack work.

    they also treat their interns very well. You won't have problems in terms of brand recognition, have been recruited by Amazon, Google, FB etc after working there as well as my coworkers

    DM for specifics

      I would redfin is a great company if you want to live in US. You will learn A LOT

      I think Expedia might be global but I'm honestly not sure

      Thank you for your reply. I’m a little bit prefer expedia is the company size of it is greater than Redfin. But lots of my friends recommend me to choose Redfin, so maybe Redfin is the right choose for me. I’m struggling with making decisions. I heard that Redfin cancelled summer internship for 2020. So I’m a little bit afraid that it would do the same thing next year.

  • Expedia might be better for brand recognition you could use elsewhere but long term wouldnt recommend it unless you get on really good team. Travel is suffering at the moment

      Does it mean that it is easier to get another full time job having the internship experience at Expedia than Redfin?

    • I think getting your resume recognized would be better just because of brand recognition, so getting interviews would be easier i think. If you think you would like to be at redfin for long term though might as well just take that.
