Pros

Co-workers (peers and higher-ups) are nice, and there's a young and fresh company culture.

Cons

Pay is on the lower end of the scale and benefits are not good. They do not offer ANY maternity leave, which is very surprising given the size of the company and the culture/age demographics of younger professionals they try to attract!

Maternity Benefits are covered under the Company’s Short Term Disability Policy. New mothers get 25 weeks of coverage once they’ve been with Orbitz for at least 6 months – at a range of 70% to 100% of pay depending how long you’ve been an employee.

Pros

* great people * managers work with you so you can do work you LIKE * high level of autonomy * ability to move around to different teams easily

Cons

* compensation/bonuses are poor - not competitive * college hire process- college hires are (seemingly) randomly assigned to teams * few opportunities for advancement (you'll be a senior software engineer forever)

Pros

-Located in Oglvie train station. -Work from home options (depending on group & manager). -Monthly employee happy hours (for those that like to drink). -Certain members of Senior Leadership are very approachable and easy to work with. -There are some very talented and productive people working (and formerly) at Orbitz.

Cons

-Compensation is not that great, raises are OK. Bonus is pretty low and not competitive. -High turnover in many groups -Lots of changes due to lack of cash/money, and cutbacks/layoffs -Office is OK, kind of dated and dark; not enough conference room space -Certain Managers/Directors were promoted due to how long they worked at company, not based on people or management skills. Some are highly inappropriate and have long histories of this. -Not much available for career advancement outside of Technology. -Work/life balance is not great for high performers. Those with a good work/life balance are not high performers.
