Pros

Good benefits? Good people, but losing more and more of them all the time.

Cons

Expedia has done a poor job managing this place since they took over. The laid people off during a hot pre-Covid economy so people started jumping ship right and left. They obviously did not think through their layoff strategy or they would have realized that good people don't want to work for a company that's laying people off.

Pros

HomeAway technology stack has come a long way. One of the most appealing things about working here is the fact that you get to work with cutting edge technology. In addition, the engineering team are super smart, so working here is a great networking opportunity too.

Cons

Company is getting pretty big, and if you end up on the wrong team, you may find it that it is difficult for you to be impactful.

Thank you for taking the time to leave a thoughtful review. We love a good tech stack as much as the next tech company and it’s great to hear you enjoy working on ours. Our Data Science and Engineering teams are so important to the success of HomeAway. You’re right though, we are growing rapidly. If someone finds themselves on a team that doesn’t quite feel right, we highly encourage internal movement and having a conversation with your manager.
