Pros

Flexible hours, line managers are good

Cons

Extremely poor high level management (VP+), forced through many unpopular decisions (forcing 50% in office time through condescending emails, firing PMs for ridiculous reasons) and constantly using buzz words and pushes to implement meaningless technology while taking home insanely high pay packets. All of this leads to low motivation and I have seen many SDEs expressing their upset with how things have been changing over the past few months from all regions.

Pros

- Decent pay for Prague (but may now be looking low per inflation). - Direct manager seems to really care (got lucky, I think). - Provides some mental stimulation. - I think my colleagues are mostly a decent bunch.

Cons

- As a 2022 review wrote, much less intelligence, effort, and dedication are required for many higher paying jobs. - Workday does not allow for much downtime (you have to process the transactions or your KPIs fall). This also makes it hard to keep up with internal emails/communications and to pick up new skills. - I'm just another number in this huge company. - Company follows all the latest social trends like a good little sheep (I guess most big companies do this to stay afloat). - A few mistakes can bring your KPIs below the threshold. - Sometimes unclear if you are right or not regarding your fraud decision, and, unfortunately, this could count against your KPIs.

leadership disconnected from reality

Pros

There are some amazing people who are unfortunately buried in the org chart at Expedia. Underneath the executive level turmoil and politics, at the heart of the company, there is good work being done through collaboration and relationships. Commitment to the company's success is strong even under trying circumstances.

Cons

Executives are so far out of touch with reality that it's laughable. Expectations are high performance, high output, but compensation is not aligned with those expectations. And somehow executives are surprised (and complain at all company meetings) when people leave the company for offers that are more than double the pay for the same or less work. A compelling corporate vision is great, but a vision doesn't pay the bills or send kids to college. For those who care less about compensation, their great ideas and long-term strategies are shuffled through so many layers of organizational cruft and politics that the intended value or the idea itself gets lost in the bureaucracy. The supposed goal is to "move with speed", but employees can only do that if they're working on an exec's pet project, and even then everyone and their dad has to sit through a million meetings, whittle the idea down so much that it becomes meaningless, and then sign off on a pretty PowerPoint before actual work can happen. This is also an unhealthy and toxic organization where leaders behave like toddlers throwing tantrums. It's unfortunate that the most senior executives in the company have placed their trust in leaders who yell at people, slam fists on tables, point blame, and otherwise demonstrate their lack of EQ. It's no wonder so many people are "voting with their feet" and leaving the company.
