Pros
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.
Cons
The fast-moving environment makes internal communications difficult. There's some uniformity in the workforce (young/techie/urban) that's sometimes bothersome. There was a lot of unnecessary politicking in the recent election.
