Pros

Great energy, excellent downtown location, friendly employees, well recognized brand, technology focus

Cons

Meddlesome board of directors. Private equity ownership and unsuccessful IPO continue to plague the company's ability to be nimble and compete aggressively. Exuberant CEO has deep passion for the industry and a lot of potential, yet over compensates for his lack of intrinsic leadership skills with over bearing analysis and tunneling into self-indulgent minutia.

Pros

Working for Orbitz brings a sense of pride - it's a well-recognized brand, a big one, and that's a good thing. The people are generally very good and there are a lot of people who are very good at what they do. Good technology, nice office space. Benefits were average. Good CTO (finally.)

Cons

Hard work isn't always recognized; sometimes, it's simply connections that get you advanced, unfortunately. The big restructuring in 2009 prompted a lot of good talent to leave - long-time names are now gone, and that hurt morale. Career pathing was never defined, although it was promised many many times. HR is staffed with well-meaning people who do not handle preboarding (interviews, etc.) very well. It's been made very clear for director level folks that if the CEO doesn't like you, you'll be gone quickly.
