Expedia Group reviews

*) Due to chaos management routinely asks (expects) resources to work weekends. *) There is very little communication and technology sharing between the teams, which results in each team running in their own direction with their own choice of technology. *) Technical managers know absolutely nothing about the technology. Words like API and Tomcat are alien and simply do not exist in most managers vocabulary. *) Review process is from the late 90's Microsoft days - in short, even in high performing team, someone has to get a bad review as not everyone can be 'best'. *) There is a reorg every few months. *) Manager turnover is amazing. In one year I saw 6 people come and go in a team of 50.

As an engineer I have to touch a lot of servers, load balancers, documentation etc. Plus I have tools like splunk, remedy and etc that I need to use. It literally took months to get access. It should almost be automatic based on the group you are in. And making requests to other groups can be very tiresome. Remedy basically sucks and everyone has gone around it in some way or other except to write the final change request.
