Great in the beginning, drastic changes post acquisition
Pros
OWW before the acquisition was a fantastic place to work in Chicago Fun, excellent work life balance, good work, intellectually smart co-workers and co-operative team members Post acquisition by Expedia, pros were new challenging opportunities, great perks,
Cons
Some issues prior to acquisition owing to information silos and lack of complete organization/consistency in the data and IT systems .. access to applications was limited and difficult to get Lot of upheaval post the acquisition...increased politics, micro management and Orbitz office sort of degraded to "remote" office of Expedia in Chicago Certain director level execs and project managers extremely mean to work with ...did not have any accountability to senior leadership for the way they managed their teams....lot of micro management by team leaders who lack technical knowledge and business acumen... not at all a friendly work environment
