Pros

strong working colleagues, the potential of OWW and work life balance are the only reasons i've stuck around. OWW has so much potential to be a great place if mgmt would let go of old, business school philosophies and practices. pay is pretty good, but nothing exceptional. benefits are competitive for a company it's size.work environment is good except when you need some privacy or quiet. this is a place for people inherently accountable for their work.

Cons

can't quite figure out who gets promoted and why -- seems like the talent usually is not promoted, rather the talkers. most managers are not capable, rather have strong underlings creating a sense of managerial accomplishment. learning and growth...you're on your own. administratively, place is a wreck. duplicate people, systems, etc...costs could be cut in half.

Pros

1. The most tech savvy and agile based company. Strives to do the best thing technology and agile process wise. 2. Highly skilled and talented engineers and managers to learn a lot from. 3. Very good and real assesment of skills in the interview process which has a tech phone interview, weekend assignment, personal tech and behavioural interview. I liked the weekend coding assignment which is real test of the coding skills.

Cons

1. Travel business itself is not doing so great and there is too much competition for air business. 2. There is scope to make Compensation to be more competitive with the company's expectation from the employees and the tough interview process. 3. Advice to those who don't like technology: This is not the place.

Pros

Orbitz is an innovative company with a great culture. There are a lot of opportunities to grow a career here and develop both personally and professionally; the company really supports learning and development. There are also many opportunities to connect with coworkers. With so many people in one building, it can be hard to get to know everyone, but there are regular activities to get people from different areas of the company together to interact and get to know one another. If you want to work with smart people and have fun while working on challenging assignments, this is the place to be. I mean, with a foosball table in the lunchroom, what's not to love?

Cons

The work is demanding and will challenge you on a daily basis. I don't consider that to be a con, but if you're looking for something easy where you can fly under the radar, Orbitz isn't for you.
