Pros
Orbitz was a great company to work for in the beginning. The fun atmosphere and the opportunity to build a future and grow were plentiful.
Cons
Orbitz had a distinct culture of cohesive teamwork and managed to amass a group of high functioning, committed and passionate professionals. Then Barney Hartford arrived with his own culture of divisiveness, cutthroat, dog eat dog, good ole boy network. The company spiraled out of control and was a shadow of its former self. His background as an exExpedia executive and married to a current Expedia executive left his agenda very transparent to everyone but the greedy board of directors. Barney, board and crew all made out like bandits and landed softly with their golden parachutes and left behind carnage and devastation in their wake. Expedia is similar to Stepford there is a distinct "type".
