Expedia Group Software Apprentice reviews

HR is condescending and treat you like a number, unfortunately my manager was new and went straight to HR but other managers know better as most people don't get fired, rather get warnings and time for reconciliation then if all fails then get terminated. Work socials feel compulsory as it helps bond teams but isn't that what work is for, I've noticed that they spend more time with colleagues than people outside of work. Not a good place for work life balance, definitely consumes you

Senior staff have no time to help train apprentices. It seems like the apprenticeship program only exists so that they look diverse and progressive rather than actually BE diverse and progressive. Other apprentices and I have voiced our concerns several times but it just they are neatly bushed under the carpet as they don't want to admit that their program doesn't work. My manager has told me that they do not have time for me even when they have to fill out important documents that help me achieve my qualification. Managers also get upset when you don't work to the same standard and speed as their senior staff who have been working at Expedia for 5+ years which is confusing as the whole point in this apprenticeship is that you're coming in with no experience and learning on the Job as well as studying. I don't understand who my first attempt at building my first application by myself for real world use could be done exactly the same way and speed as someone who has been there for nearly a decade.
