Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Expedia Group to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Expedia Group
They only hire nice people, so have a friendly attitude! Although it may not be as big as other tech companies, the tech stack is very interoperable with not too many in-house tools making it a great place to learn long life tools. The fantastic work life balance means you also get the flexibility to dive into the role as much as you want which can't be said for all employers.
