Hi All, Posting on behalf of a friend who has two offers from expedia from Identity team and data technology/operations team. Any inputs on which group is better? Both teams said they will offer same numbers so no competion there. The role is for sr. sde. Mainly looking from work/life balance, work culture and management feedback. #swe #software #engineering #expedia #expediagroup

My manager at meta pushed out all the men on the team (myself included) except one
Dont have exact numbers. Recruiter said first pick the team and then she will share final nos.
Work life balance is good in many teams. Very hard to get a promotion if you are a guy, especially Asian or Indian guy. You will feel discriminated against and that will weigh you down.
Is this for real? 😳
Uhhh, idk about that lol
Team-wise it can be an odd mix, Expedia still has a lot of people who do nothing for years and expect promotions to pour in based on tenure then go into incel mode when that doesn’t happen(see person above) . There is very little to be said about individual responsibility WLB depends on your friend. If they like to take charge of things and drive projects their WLB is going to suck most likely. If they’re just a warm body in a chair, WLB is good but no/few promos, (see the person above, again. Sadly there’s a lot of that ) One thing to consider is that Expedia often loves spreading the same work over 3-4 timezones so make sure to ask about how many are involved in each team because it can be miserable with all the sync ups at odd hours. On the upside, driven people get a lot of interesting work and the scope can be huge, it’s a good opportunity to make impact that’s harder to make in a lot of other companies. There are lots of things to do, the stack is diverse and you get exposure to a lot of different technology. Data technology team has lots of turmoil and chaos. I don’t know about the other team. DM me if “your friend” wants more details
Thanks for the reply all. Also, how is the impact of COVID been on the company in general with travel getting impacted so much. Does that affect a lot?
Choose identity, very nice team with nice things to work on and learn from.
Do you have any perspective on the global payments team (EGP)?
🔥
Very good learning opportunity in EGP as well, same for identity team. Have worked with both teams very closely in the past. If the pay is good go for it. TC is the only thing making me thinking of switching otherwise I love Expedia in most respects.
Share the offer for advice bro. That's how it works here.
