Pros

For a fresh graduate just out of school looking for a Software Engineer role, Expedia will be a good experience in understanding the architecture of a large web system. The software Development team is very smart and most of the seniors are former microsoft employees. The culture is very laid back.

Cons

Lot of reorgs and the middle management lacks direction

Pros

The people try very hard to do the right thing. The people that have remained after the great purge of the last few years are still commited and focused yet are shouldering more and more of the burden.

Cons

The culture has deteriorated from a once great and inovative company. The turnover continued even as manager after senior manager left with no regards for the history or complexity of the system. People have been treated as interchangable parts and their value was not truely appreciated until they were gone and things "didn't work for some reason". The leadership lacks a basic understanding of the complexity of the systems yet make decisions based on who can make the best presentaions.

Pros

First and foremost I would say that on the whole, most of the people I worked with were smart, friendly, and very motivated individuals. When I had a question about something specific to the code base, I didn't have to wait very long to get a response back. Moreover, most of the code base is fairly well documented on an internal wiki. My manager was a great guy and gave me tons of positive feedback and encouraged me to explore all the unique opportunities Expedia had to offer. It is also worth noting that there are numerous opportunities for self-growth offered by the company, like language classes, that can be completed on your own time or sometimes even be counted towards your current work initiative.

Cons

Similar to most large code bases, there is a significant learning curve in regards to domain specific knowledge that needs to be overcome before one is able to start making useful contributions to company. Additionally, there was quite a bit of downtime while I waited for my computer to be set up which further set me back from making progress. I actually joined the company in the midst of a new site release and consequently I wasn't able to start working on the main code base until the release had executed successfully. When I worked at Expedia we had offices, but the company has since relocated to a new building with cubicles which I am less fond of.
