Orbitz Worldwide reviews

The flexible work hours, casual work environment but professional and "let's make this company the best it can be" culture at Orbitz is amazing. I find it both personally and professionally rewarding to work for Orbitz. Personally because I have never had a better work-life balance in my life (coming from a consulting firm, to remain unnamed, where work weeks were typically 80+ hours on top of weekly travel, that may not be saying much - but now that I have a family it simply was a must for me to find a more flexible and less strenuous job). As a new mom I find Orbitz to be the perfect fit personally (with the flexibility to leave work early for a pediatrician appointment, or work from home some days, etc.) but also professionally rewarding as I am constantly challenged to stay on top of my game and keep up to date with the latest & greatest user experience techniques in our industry. Not to mention I love travel - most especially personal travel which I am finally doing more of than work travel now - so the job content is WAY more interesting than what I've done in the past (online information management systems mostly). I am ecstatic with my choice of employment and encourage others to consider Orbitz. It is truly a great place to work!

The industry (travel) is pretty cool - things are always changing, and there are a million problems to solve. Orbitz seems to take the smartest people and put them into really challenging assignments - once you are recognized as a "really smart person" the problem space becomes pretty awesome. The fact the office in the train station is a nice perk if you take Metra in - no walk in winter.
