Expedia Group sortware developer reviews

I expected the politicking to be better than other employers where you're rewarded for how well you can promote yourself rather than actual work accomplished. I was assured that the formal review process isn't a big deal and people just all work together against common goals choosing the best technology. Unfortunately I was in for some big surprises. At Expedia project related metrics are ignored to promote oneself or put down other honest hard workers. Many levels of management buy into this game and HR is often involved in telling employees what they have done wrong. There is no feedback loop. I've seen many cases where no notice or interaction was given that complaints were being made. One day you're fine the next day you're on a chopping list. And once you find out it's too late. Entire teams have stolen credit for work they didn't do and have also shifted the blame for their own mistakes. Senior management is acquiescent of these practices. Bellevue headquarters suffers from over crowding. The bull pens went from bad to worse when 20-30 people wasn't dense enough more walls were knocked down to accommodate up to 80. Even directors lost their offices. This indicates the value Expedia places on employees.

There may be a need for a Sr director for all directors in India to balance the difference ways of working.
