Business Outlook
Pros
There is a good culture running through Orbitz enabled by a diverse, intelligent and friendly workforce. There are plenty of opportunities to learn from those around you and to explore new ground. Benefits are pretty good and time-off is above average. The organization strives to apply Agile development practices, most evidently in its Technology groups so expect a lot of collaboration.
Cons
The layers of technology and attributes of the OTA (online travel agent) industry are complex, so expect a steep learning curve (but also count on support along the way). In some areas of the organization Waterfall style oversight and project management can lead to a control-and-direct mentality that can cause bottlenecks and stifle innovation.
