Orbitz Worldwide reviews

Orbitz is the top eCommerce company to work for in Chicago. That may sound inflated, but we're not talking about Seattle or San Francisco. There are very few global e-commerce companies in the area, so the competition is admittedly thin. However, the thrill and responsibility of working for a company that gets a million uniques a day is exceptional. The workforce is on the whole young, ambitious, and bright. It is not nearly as nimble as a startup, but that is counterbalanced by having the brand presence and resources to establish partnerships and leverage technologies that you otherwise can't get with a small company. The office location is insanely convenient for both downtown and suburban residents (in the Ogilvie Transportation building). The office itself is a modern open-concept layout that is very nice to work in. And there's a ping pong table, an internet company must-have.

Orbitz is such an innovator with so many firsts in the industry. The workforce is very flexible - we have to be - and there are many opportunities to 'make a difference.' For the most part, upper management is very open to ideas and initiatives from both employees and clients. Many features on the sites are the direct result of client feedback. The working environment is very modern and there are many amenities both in the office and the building. Transportation couldn't be easier; the Metra depot right downstairs. Non traditional schedules and telecommuting are accommodated wherever possible. HR practices are enlightened. The benefits offered are average.
