Company Culture
What was the company culture and general atmosphere like?
Very strong push for inclusivity and collaboration, however often seems over the top and forced. Lots of changes from higher up the management ladder which trickles down to impact day-to-day work by causing reshuffles in the working team, disrupting the workflow every few months. Overall everyone is very friendly and relatively positive.

Recommendations & Advice
Would you recommend Expedia Group to a friend?
Yes
What advice would you give to others applying to Expedia Group
When interviewing be yourself and be honest about your strengths and weaknesses, they aren't looking for someone who can do everything, you are part of a team for a reason. Figure out what part of the job you enjoy and let your manager know, they will give you more work around that area as there is little point doing work that you find dull or boring if you can do other work.
