Pros
They seem to be very employee-friendly. I can work at home or take time of virtually any time I need. Technical managers are all very competent. I think compensation is very fair, benefits above average. Location is excellent, in the same building as the train station. The company is mostly a java shop but there are pockets of activity in other languages, and management seems very open to suggestions. There are lots of opportunities to learn and try new things.
Cons
I don't have admin rights to my own workstation, which is a first for me. I think Orbitz is suffering from some poor technical decisions made in the past. There needs to be a bigger focus on teams sharing a common framework for software development. Instead of fixing the standard framework, some teams will simply strike off on their own using different versions of java or creating non-standard build steps to meet their needs.
