Pros

The casual and laid back atmosphere, you can wear jeans to work, intelligent employees (for the most part), good benefits and recognition if you do well. The people who work here are generally younger. There are opportunities to move laterally and into other departments.

Cons

There is too much office politics in certain departments. People getting promoted who didn't deserve to be only because they were kissing up to management. Need to work long hours if you want management to think you're a good worker. If you leave at 5pm, you're probably deemed as lazy even though you get your work done. People will throw you under the bus in order to make themselves look good.

Pros

Brilliant people, fun environment and good work-life balance. Most teams at Orbitz have good development managers, who take care of their people and really work hard to shield them from the upper management. These strong development managers are what make the place worth working at.

Cons

Management can be flakey at times. While I worked there, the company changed owners and directions several times. The overall company direction was always a moving target, so if you require a clear, consistent direction and vision from _upper_ management, look elsewhere. As I said above, the lower managers tended to do a good job of insulating their people, so that individual teams kept a somewhat consistent direction.
