benefits are being increasingly taken away, leadership is not always on the same page, not enough direction for long term projects, pay varies widely from person to person with the same job title.

Pros

New CEO has re-energized the company and is attracting strong talent to help improve key areas of the company. Smart, dedictaed employees and much less political and bureacratic than other large internet companies I have worked for. Young workforce creates a fun and enjoyable work setting.

Cons

Like all companies, deciding what to focus on and what opportunities to walk away from is a challenge. Orbitz could use a little more focus.

Pros

Because it is an online company - employees are allowed to work from home - which is a huge plus. Great vacation policy - and still some travel perks. Lots of innovative ideas (just not easy to get them implemented). Most of my peers are great folks to work with - very dedicated. Benifits are very good ( medical/dental). 401K average in this rough financial world.

Cons

Because employees can work from home - or are home-based - there is a very thin line between work time and home life (in the non-IT world anyway) - that is required to get the job done. After the reduction in work force in Nov 08 and Jan 09 - most non-IT departments are running very slim on staff to accomplish the same tasks as before the layoffs. Also - in an effort to recapture market share - it seems as if Senior managment is grasping at ideas to try. With the new management - seems as if we are doing a complete 180 on many of our processes. Continual changes in testing procedures and reporting/tracking products make getting enhancements and changes difficult and very slow. Reconize, utilize and keep key employees.
