welcome to Expedia most people think of
us is just another travel company but
we're so much more than that
we provide the technology that lets
people travel around the world a bit
amazing London office we've got a
thousand people in out as well as more
fool around flow and we're looking for
people like you a human experience we
notice one of those boring tools that
allow our customers to find unzip
travels we want to create this rustic
product even cutting-edge technologies
to add value to our customers life I
think the culture here in the studio is
all about innovation and helping each
other I describe the culture each video
is quite laid-back and casual I want to
very friendly
I can always grab the drinks in the
fridges that very relaxed is lots of
autonomy but give and take over can be
five minutes late I can put you know
extra ten minutes in at the end of the
day
technology Expedia we combine it with
analytics what that means for the wider
business is that we can have the
craziest idea in the world you can come
up with an idea I can't let my dear CEOs
important idea a lot of companies would
be afraid to just so so they could go in
and embrace a new way of doing things
that Expedia's like it's a battle doing
that it's about saying look here's a new
technology how could we apply this what
could do how could this make our jobs
but allows information we could affect
who so is one of our customers so that
they can make the best choices when
they're traveling to do that we the
latest and greatest technology much for
open source and we also contribute
technology back to the open source
community I've learned I think I
probably learned more doing very
internship here that I have in three
years at university all the practical
skills I've gained the program's I've
learned to use or do sequels all like
things that are actually going to matter
my career it's not University PowerPoint
when I finished University I mean I was
super passionate about Robotnik from
super passionate about artificial
intelligence and I love the program but
I didn't know what type of career I won
kid I was kind of really nervous about
applying for different places because I
felt like I would be pigeonholing myself
into a single career well I love about
it see you and I've been here eight
years
he's always been able to you change and
build my career Reese we started the
program at four years ago in the US and
two years ago in the in the UK so it's a
relatively new program what we found in
that time is a big acceleration in the
last couple of years so from 20 2014
we hired around 150 drugs and interns
worldwide this year's from the 15 that's
risen to over 400 and next year it's
going to rise to at least 550 so so just
in terms of the opportunity there's
there's lots more roles available than
there were a couple years back
