Orbitz Worldwide reviews

Orbitz's employee benefits are paltry and do not match industry standards for business professionals. PTO, maternity/paternity leave, etc are dismal. I came from 28 days of PTO in my prior company to only 12 days. I've had fellow employees actually quit Orbitz when they find out they're pregnant, getting married, or other life events that require flexibility. Experiences vary greatly between teams. Some teams have managers who are open to flexible working concepts and working from home and other teams have mangers who refuse flexibility even under family emergencies! Other reviews are correct, there are extremely limited opportunities for growth here. Middle management here is awful. People become managers because of tenure not because they're suited to management functions. I've had my manager lie to me, yell at me, and take credit for my work. Finally, Orbitz HR team made quite a few claims during the recruitment process that they had no right to make and that went completely unfulfilled. I would never recommend any Orbitz jobs to any fellow business professionals, but would recommend Orbitz to campus hires. Orbitz is a fun place to start a career right out of college and benefits for campus hires are aligned with the industry. For experienced professionals...stay away!

After my first year, I learned the truth about Orbitz. Not much potential for growth. Investment in training and learning does not exist. I asked many times about going to training seminars, but was turned down because of "budget" reasons. Upper management is absolutely horrible, no backbone at all. After I left the company, I realized how much I did not learn at Orbitz. I felt I had gone backwards instead of forwards in my industry. Also, after I left the company, I found out I was blocked from an internal opportunity by upper management. And I was lied to about the reason why I didn't get the job. Makes me sick. HR is clueless. My exist interview was a joke.
