Pros

Awesome technologies here. There are really a lot of technologies that you can work in, you can be an expert in anything that you choose. Not a conservative company at all, will encourage new ideas. Very employee friendly. I didn't think online travel agency would be so technical until I joined here. Lots to learn here. I love that I get a chance to work with a group of very smart people.

Cons

Not a lot of cons that I can think of at the moment. However, I feel the pay is a bit less compared to the other companies in Chicago area.

Pros

The open and collaborative working environment couldn't be better. Everyone looks to help each other succeed in their jobs and displays a positive attitude. Orbitz has a heavy focus on technology and attract top talent. When you work with so many talented people, you can't help but constantly learn from them. There is a constant drive to innovate everything from website/customer features to small process improvements.

Cons

With so much focus on innovation and new features some projects get done halfway. This leads to unneeded complexity and long standing technical debt. Solving some of these complex problems can be very rewarding, but frustrating.

Pros

Surronded by smart people, very interesting work. It is pretty much a java shop, but more and more teams are creating new applications in Grails (Groovy), which is cool. The company uses the latest technologies, and definitely isn't afraid to upgrade their tools to better the company. Awesome workplace environment. I've worked in several tech companies here in Chicago, and it doesn't get better than here.

Cons

Some of the legacy java code needs some serious refactoring.
