Orbitz, the only online travel company to make the coveted Best Places to Work list, placed number 26 receiving a 4.0 out of 5.0 rating from employees. Orbitz Worldwide CEO Barney Harford's approval rating from reviews shared in the past year is 87% compared to the average CEO approval rating of 68% for all CEOs on Glassdoor.

The 2013 Glassdoor Best Places to Work list is determined using feedback employees voluntarily and anonymously provide via an online company survey.
