BEWARE - NOT a place for Developers and Designers!!
Pros
- Part of brand Expedia - Unique product - Standard market joining offer
Cons
- Company is crazily hiring tonnes of Directors and Sr. Directors in the company. Positions of ground workers like developers, designers, content, analytics remain unfilled. This has led to too much micromanagement, loads of people asking for status and none to do the work!!! In recent days, esp in Engineering seen unnecessary positions created on the fly with a multitude of hierarchy just to secure managements positions. Fun Fact- There is also a Director of TPM and a herd of TPMs for only running standups and sprint meetings!!! - Managers never discuss about career growth with the teams. The company should invest in training for managers, particularly how to promote discussions on career growth of employees. - Hotwire is hiring many former employees from MACY'S as Macy's is downsizing.as a company. Asa result in the quality of recent hires has gone down drastically. - Not the right place for developers, who don't want to play politics. Rampant politics and favoritism in such a small company. - Extremely rare instance of promotions in Engineering org. See frequent promotions and role changes happening in the Product org though. This sucks for developers and engineers!! - Don't promote role changes! Engineering Directors and Managers highly dissuade any idea or discussions of role change.
