Orbitz Worldwide

Is this your company?

Fun vibe, good senior leadership, but this culture is superficial and does not permeate through middle management. - Account Manager Orbitz Worldwide Employee Review

Pros

The overall company vibe at Oribtz is very positive. The Senior Leadership team is relatively accessible and compared to other companies, they are quite open. I appreciate the openness with regards especially to bonus compensation calculation. Orbitz does try to create a fun, open, tech environment with lots of employee activities. Fun isn't going to keep good talent around though.

Cons

Orbitz's employee benefits are paltry and do not match industry standards for business professionals. PTO, maternity/paternity leave, etc are dismal. I came from 28 days of PTO in my prior company to only 12 days. I've had fellow employees actually quit Orbitz when they find out they're pregnant, getting married, or other life events that require flexibility. Experiences vary greatly between teams. Some teams have managers who are open to flexible working concepts and working from home and other teams have mangers who refuse flexibility even under family emergencies! Other reviews are correct, there are extremely limited opportunities for growth here. Middle management here is awful. People become managers because of tenure not because they're suited to management functions. I've had my manager lie to me, yell at me, and take credit for my work. Finally, Orbitz HR team made quite a few claims during the recruitment process that they had no right to make and that went completely unfulfilled. I would never recommend any Orbitz jobs to any fellow business professionals, but would recommend Orbitz to campus hires. Orbitz is a fun place to start a career right out of college and benefits for campus hires are aligned with the industry. For experienced professionals...stay away!

Glad you appreciate the vibe at Orbitz because we strive to promote exactly the kind of culture you describe – “a fun, open, tech environment with lots of employee activities.” Very disappointed, however, to hear about the situation with your manager, as well as your other frustrations. Please email me directly in confidence if you would like to meet and discuss these issues, or you are welcome to email any of the senior leaders of the organization in confidence about your concerns, both for your personal benefit as well as the benefit of our entire company. – Cory Schroeder, Director of Talent Acquisition
