Pros

In most departments, the work life balance is very good allowing employees the ability to work from home if needed. Office culture if friendly and laid back. Relaxed dress code. Monthly in office happy hour events are fun. Great people to work with.

Cons

If you are not in a select few departments, it is very difficult to surface new ideas/business concepts. Promotions to advance your career are very hard to come by. You need to have the good fortune of being on the right project at the right time. There is no real career path for growth within the company.

Orbitz Worldwide Response

Appreciate your honest feedback, and we have recently taken steps to more clearly define available career paths across the company. For example, we published a Global Career Framework to outline the expected knowledge, skills and abilities for all employees by level within an organization (i.e. “department”). Furthermore, we developed specific career frameworks for 7 internal organizations such as the technology and finance departments, among others, and by the end of this year we will publish career frameworks for all remaining organizations within the company. Finally, Orbitz provides internal postings of available open positions and publishes “Traveling Though Orbitz,” an internal newsletter, to highlight the many available paths to growth, and we promote development opportunities by way of Orbitz University, Tech Talks and other avenues to ensure that employees are equipped with the knowledge and skills they need to grow professionally.
