Were you given much responsibility during your placement / internship?
Every intern is given a project/ multiple small projects over the 10 weeks. These projects have meaningful impacts in terms of making Expedia the leaders in the industry. We had great exposure to not only our own divisions but also all others that make up Expedia Group.

Great environment for an intern. Especially as you are with a cohort of 60 other interns, you are able to make new friends and learn from them as well. The internship went beyond my expectations in terms of how lively and inclusive the culture. I definitely recommend applying for an internship at Expedia.
