As much as I would like to say that Expedia Montreal is one of the best places to work at, it gives me much displeasure to say that you should think twice before joining. Here's why:
- One of the key things to retain top talent in any company is to promote deserving people and keep them motivated by praising them. Expedia truly fails to do that. I have been working here more than a few years and every one of those years I have seen a majority of the wrong people being promoted. As sad as that might be, the upper management is truly agnostic to this fact. Expedia (at least the Montreal office), promotes people who clearly don't make the mark. This is not to say that those people aren't talented, rather getting promoted here only depends upon which product you are working on/how much of visibility you have even if you don't deliver any results. Since it's a small (and a remote) office, you know what everyone is working on and how talented they are etc. and when you hear about someone being promoted, you wonder if this is a joke.
It's a shame that a company with such an awesome culture and great benefits disappoints in this area.
