Pros

The people you will work with are amazing. Very good people with a lot of talent who want to do things right and are willing to do whats necessary.

Cons

Upper management does not have a clue how to do anything. Constant restructuring, non-competitive salaries, loss of talent because they just don't care are just a few of their short comings. Combine that with straight out lies from an incompetent HR team it can be challenging to stay motivated.

The greatest chaotic place to work.

Pros

Orbitz has a lot of variety in technology. The opportunities to learn new things is prevalent everywhere, every area seems to be in a state of change. A lot of the people are great, smart, and all around fun to work with. Orbitz is a big corporation - but in a lot of ways, you couldn't tell.

Cons

It seems employees are a line item expense to management. New position/title/duties never comes with matching compensation, and it seems management does not value (or care about) talent. The political climate is insane, every group has turf and an agenda, and usually you have to wheel and deal to placate ego and turf boundaries. Benefits have been slowly reduced (401k match and time off). Getting a substantial raise to match a new title or duties is impossible, many have left for a period of time only to return later.

Pros

Compensation is fair Intellectually rewarding work Coworkers are smart Good work life balance. I had the ability to work from home from time to time

Cons

Constantly changing organization structure. In one year they changed my manager 4 times. It was almost impossible to build a relationship, learn the working habits of your manager in such an environment. And I was not the only one. Every few weeks I would hear "an organization wide restructuring is coming." This was a clear indication of senior management's incompetence in building a growing a structure that works. To get promoted you have to know the right people. If a decision maker does not like you forget it. Very political environment. The culture and environment is to find someone to blame when something wrong happens.
