Palpable Score

80.5

/ 100

Expedia Group is one of the more structured large employers for early-career entry, with clearly defined internship, graduate, and apprenticeship pathways and plenty of published guidance for candidates. Learning support looks well-developed through rotations, bootcamps, mentoring, and internal gigs, while pay transparency is solid in many US postings but early-career pay detail is inconsistent and recent layoffs reduce the “stability” side of the score.
