Pros

This review is really about something that every job applicant at Expedia should know. Apart from that, yes, everything else about Expedia is top notch, including pay, benefits etc.

Cons

As much as I would like to say that Expedia Montreal is one of the best places to work at, it gives me much displeasure to say that you should think twice before joining. Here's why: - One of the key things to retain top talent in any company is to promote deserving people and keep them motivated by praising them. Expedia truly fails to do that. I have been working here more than a few years and every one of those years I have seen a majority of the wrong people being promoted. As sad as that might be, the upper management is truly agnostic to this fact. Expedia (at least the Montreal office), promotes people who clearly don't make the mark. This is not to say that those people aren't talented, rather getting promoted here only depends upon which product you are working on/how much of visibility you have even if you don't deliver any results. Since it's a small (and a remote) office, you know what everyone is working on and how talented they are etc. and when you hear about someone being promoted, you wonder if this is a joke. It's a shame that a company with such an awesome culture and great benefits disappoints in this area.

Pros

Incredible benefits! Quality, affordable medical insurance, 401k, wellness reimbursement, travel reimbursement, plenty of PTO, etc. They have fresh food cooked daily for breakfast and lunch, available for purchase. They also have free food, such as yogurt cups, cheese sticks, and shelf-stable fruits available to all employees. The benefits keep many of us here. I will say, have had two supervisors so far, and they’ve each been great. Very understanding, yet motivating. I haven’t yet met a supervisor who didn’t value their supervisees.

Cons

The main digital platforms we use do not function efficiently, which makes a noticeable impact on our work. On a perfect day, you’ll still spend 8-12 minutes per hour waiting on load screens, but we have experienced days in which the sites were down for about 6 hours within an 8 hour day. I feel that our quarterly goals are not constructed with this in mind. Another major con is—like many places now—job security is an issue. AI is taking over the job of many employees, and while we’re told to embrace it, it’s difficult to do so when you could walk in any day and be told to pack your things.
