If you have to work, there aren't many better places

Pros

A highly collegial environment where you look forward to engaging with your co-workers. There are tons of interesting initiatives going on all the time - makes you feel proud to work for a company that is on the leading edge in its industry. There are loads of social activities - happy hours, holiday parties, and volunteer events, etc - if that's your thing. If not, you don't feel pressured to join.

Cons

While there are opportunities for professional development, the size of the company naturally limits the potential for upward mobility beyond a certain level. It's not to say that people don't get promoted -- they do - but in some areas of the company there are too few spots coveted by many people.

Pros

Opportunity to work on projects that impact millions of consumers. Orbitz is on the cutting edge of a bunch of interesting fields esp in areas of technology, marketing and analytics. Great opportunity to learn while working with highly talented and engaged team members. Fun, flat, non-hierarchical culture where ideas and execution are what matters. You can move around the global organization and broaden your experience set. Nice HR benefits like a week off between Christmas and New Year, 401K w matching, frequent social events. Some cool travel industry discounts including access to some really spectacular industry rates at hotel chains including Fairmont, Starwood and Marriott, plus 20% off hotels booked on Orbitz. Good work/life balance, and the Orbitz offices are on top of a major train station, making commuting really easy.

Cons

Ultra-competitive industry, the pace is very fast, there's always a lot of stuff to be done, and often the need for some tough prioritization decisions. Over the last few years there has been a lot of effort devoted to platform migration, which has slowed down the pace of customer-impacting innovation. The good news here is that this migration work should be finished by the end of Q1 2012, which should allow us to step up the innovation that will impact consumers. Chicago can be cold in the winter. But it's a world class city, with great restaurants, and loads of culture of all varieties.

Pros

Great atmosphere, colleagues, compensation and opportunities to develop. The company cares about what each individual thinks, and they actively seek feedback to improve further.

Cons

Some key technology projects over the last few years have held back some of the more innovative work they might otherwise be further along the line. That said, times are changing, and with many of these projects now over, the velocity of innovation and development had ramped up significantly.
