Hotwire is run by politics and inefficient Product Owners who talks and only save their ass. Engineering is given shit for all. No promotions/hikes for years now. Everyone from CEO, President, CTO left or fired. People who play in words and politics are getting promotions only!!! Is it same in outside Expedia or only in Expedia Hotwire???
No one at Expedia takes Hotwire seriously. I'm glad I don't work there...
I can see this same exact comment made about Expedia not being taken seriously (and being glad they don't work there) 3 yrs from now 😬
Sounds like rats leaving the sinking ship.
Does it really have a great business or revenue? It's just sticking yet
Yeah, Dara went to uber because he wasn't pleased with Hotwire. 🙄 Same goes for Henrik, always clearly stated he would go back to Europe at some stage.
Says someone who doesn't finish the sentence with period.
Yep, the politics suck. The new president seems invested in turning things around though.
Hotwire is really shitty. Couldn’t take it after a year of working there.
It’s a challenging brand. They have little international exposure mostly US domestic and even there they are dwarfed by other brands. I can’t speak for former management, but I have only heard negative things about the new President and leadership in general. It will take time to turn around the brand, grated it can be turned around...
actually I’ve seen the Hotwire finance results and they have been good recently and I heard positive things about the changes from people there. time will tell but it seems to be changing for the better
Come on what do you think? It has been on life support for years. Nobody misses CompUSA or Hotwire. If they let everyone leave by attrition, then no severance necessary. Follow the lead of the top brass and start making other plans.
