Pros

Depending upon your direct supervisor, the work/life balance can be very flexible and accomodating. Great location in the city, in the same building as one major train station and across the street from the other.

Cons

Since going public, management is crippled by obsession with stock price and Board of Directors - and making all decisions with complete tunnel vision. Many other important and necessary initiatives are either completely derailed or die a slow death of neglect by lack of management attention and support. Yet this obvious failure to meet the company's needs is either unnoticed or just ignored by those in highest levels of authority - the only ones in a position to make the necessary changes. Benefits, compensation and morale get worse with each passing year, yet leadership doesn't appear to care and would rather let the company lose some of its greatest talent than do anything address employee concerns. This just increases the employee frustration, causing others with talent and alternative career options to leave the company, and the rest to either give up or just coast as there is little to no accountability in job performance.

Pros

The passion and dedication that people at Orbitz bring to work every day is not only humbling, but a great motivator - working with such talented people compels me to want to continuously improve. The access to senior leadership at Orbitz is unparalleled. Yes, we're a relatively small company, but the leadership team is completely accessible and is truly interested in your ideas.

Cons

Sometimes decisions take longer than you might expect in a small company that is trying to hold onto it's entrepreneurial roots. Communication could be a little better, but I have yet to work in a company that has fully mastered effective communication.
