Pros

Good benefits, supporting travel, volunteering, on site healthcare

Kontras

In my department (this may not apply to the entire company) upper management maintained a constant fear for the staff that anyone could be fired at anytime. People regularly disappeared after 5pm and you would just never see them again. Because everyone was afraid- in an effort to protect themselves- there was constant tattling, a sense of attendance taking in meetings, people reporting your linkedin actions if they suggested you might be looking for another job. We also held not so secret reviews 2x a year where all managers participated in a meeting where we went around and said ways in which each employee had failed to perform in a given year. And the communication style across the entire department was 'whispered secrets'- things were rarely announced-- they were just 'trickled down' which meant communicating one:one- creating the feeling that you were sharing a secret vs. communicating relevant information so people could better do their jobs. Negative, heartless, tight-fisted, ineffective, secretive with the lower ranks so afraid that on their best day- 'unfriendly' would be the kindest word to describe the team.

Pros

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

Kontras

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.
