Pros

One of the most advanced and growing travel tech companies in the world. International working environment; get to meet and work with people from all over the world. Perks of traveling once a year to Amsterdam. Free lunches. Easy company to work for; you dont have to be smart. A lot of people just get comfortable and stay for very very long time.

Cons

-Unqualified people get promoted (with 0 ZERO Achievements). -Unclear career progression scheme for people; some get sudden promotion when the product that he/she was working for failed badly in the market. -Too many summit and travels for those unqualified people. -POLITICS; lots and lots of people got promoted / special 'assignment' because he / she happens to know the BOSSes or capable to sweet talk the manager. - Less than smart people on the management level; even director level. -Ineligible people got relocated to other countries like Singapore / New York; when the people actually have no QUALITIES; just capable of sweet talking the management.
