      Pros

      If you are in the "product" organization or a middle manager or above, you are probably paid well. Most employees are good people and easy to get along with, especially individually. Given the big bet Expedia has placed, there is significant runway for big bets and failure.

      Cons

      The company will now live and die based on the new CEO. To say he is hands on is a vast understatement. The monthly review format is a massive time and energy sink that almost certainly does more harm than good. The "120 process" supposes a flat company structure but the company is very hierarchical and will be even more so when thousands are hired in Austin. There's no real reward or incentive to contribute. The actual website(s) are still a mess. It's very rare for anyone to rise through the internal ranks even if they are a very strong performer.

      Pros

      Excellent parties. Most people are extremely smart and approachable. The offices are pretty awesome and there's a gym at the Domain. Great insurance. Some women in leadership positions. "Mom" rooms. Great office locations.

      Cons

      There is no defined HomeAway management system here so choose your manager wisely. Some managers let their staff WFH, some don't. Some help and support their team, some don't. Some teams have no growth opportunity. There is still an old boys club to a lot of the management teams. There is absolutely no concept of ownership of a project. Everything is divided piecemeal across teams to the point of chaos. Horrible planning processes that waste so much time and energy and are an embarassment to the teams they supposedly represent. I've never worked somewhere where time was managed so poorly. So many meetings without accomplishment. There is a lot of jargon that is HomeAway centric that does not and should not make sense to new people. However, instead of adopting industry standards, HomeAway creates its own strange, cryptic standards and language. No understanding of how Jira should really work. The bonus system is very strange - called "COs". These are supposed to encourage us to acheive goals, but really are poorly defined deliverables that teams have a hard time emeting due to the dependenceis (and lack of coordination) amongst teams.
