Pros
For many years, Expedia offered a healthy, supportive culture that I was proud to represent. Among other things, it offered great work-life balance and a tremendous team environment.
Kontras
Unfortunately, the culture has shifted dramatically. In my final year, I experienced what I can only describe as a coordinated effort by management to push out a long-term, high-performing employee. After volunteering for "above and beyond" projects, I was met with shifting, vague, and factually incorrect performance accusations. Despite providing documented evidence to management, my input was entirely ignored. The individual I needed to discuss these things with became unreachable, and the goalposts for my performance moved regularly. Based on my discussions with many colleagues, this is not an isolated incident; there is a growing sentiment that management uses "gaslighting" tactics and false narratives to facilitate exits, even for those with a proven track record. The environment has become one of high anxiety, where trust is low and "mental harassment" has replaced the once-supportive culture.
