Pros

Market leader, decent product making a difference to many folks out in the world. It depends which team you get into but if you stay away from the politics then you would be fine. Great place to start your career, even better if you could start at a senior level ...

Cons

Soul of the company has changed dramatically in the last few years. All the old timers have left, It has become too political with new people coming into Senior Management. Too much churn, not much value for old timers. Longer periods of time there will not get you very far (does not matter how smart or talented you may be). The right folks don't get the recognition and promotions often go to someone not deserving initially - only when the promoted candidate makes a fool of himself/herself is when common sense prevails - it shouldn't be that way to begin with.

Pros

The product is amazing and the people creating the product are brilliant. The office locations are truly a site to see. The UK headquarters were in Soho, London and are now in Covent Garden. The office in Montreal is 20 paces form the Notre Dame. The view from US Headquarters is all of Seattle. From a technology perspective the company is bleeding edge and the developers are always creating better ways to present our product to the consumer. Internal development teams design workflow tools that rival our ecommerce solutions. It is a pleasure to tell people you help deliver Expedia to the world.

Cons

Expedia is a vacation spot for inept leadership. I have seen numerous millionaires come into Expedia and waste millions of dollars with little to no thought going into their decision making process. There is absolutely no long-term vision. The review process for employees is based solely on the 'what have you done for me lately' model of management. There is a huge separation between senior management and the teams working to keep the business online. Communication is non-existent unless a leader is blaming an employee for failure to accomplish a goal they never delivered. I can't imagine that any technology leader at Expedia has been successful outside of the work place.
