Pluspunten

Great compensation in comparison to the rest of the industry and great work life balance

Minpunten

The job used to be fun because of free food and alcohol at the office but once covid hit and the glitz and the glam was over it was obvious how many flaws were in the system. Management in the New York office is completely incompetent. They may have been good individual contributors but they have absolutely no idea how to manage people at all. All they do is micromanage and pretend to give feedback to the team when in actuality they all have way more growing to do than anyone else. The senior director is completely out of touch and the director has only been promoted because he is a young male but he lacks any people skills. They only promote people who they like but are not the best candidate for the job. The entire office needs a major revamp of leadership.

Pluspunten

Constant state of transformation is ripe environment for new hires and functional experts from big name tech companies

Minpunten

Pre-covid the culture was really special. Collaborative, engaging, people-centric, with a unifying mission to enable travel for the world. Since covid there has been a revolving door of executive leadership, and with each round, they throw out the current strategy to try something "new" without building from the current or past successes. Constant change, but no clear vision or strategy of what they are trying to change to. Lack of strategy and low risk tolerance leads to too many priorities with not enough investment to move the needle in anything. Quarterly layoffs, but executed quietly team by team so as not to make news. No psychological safety. Talent strategy since covid is to hire externally over internal promotions to gain "functional expertise" therefore difficult to grow your career. Siloed divisions not working towards common goal. Lacks operating model maturity needed for a company of this size likely do to revolving door of execs and priorities. A cash cow company with an identity crisis trying to be an AI innovator. Build vs buy mentality slows them down. Too many exec pet projects that aren't vetted with proper business cases.
