Pros

There were lots of talented product managers, engineers, content strategists, ux researchers, and designers to learn from. You'll definitely learn a lot of lessons quickly which will give you a lot of growth here. It's a good opportunity to work with a global business and gain fruitful experiences working across many teams around the world.

Cons

Lots of reorgs, regular attrition, culture was good but going downhill. It is hard to maintain a culture when many of the people in it are leaving to keep it around. Leadership will say to take care of yourselves but have a high demand to stay on track for multiple initiatives. It can be hard to feel OK taking the time off that you need for a mental break. Also, there is clear favoritism at the company. In the summer of 2020, design leadership announced that no one will be receiving promotions for mid-year. A couple of months later, they announced that a couple of people did get a promotion. There's more I could say but I will leave it at this.

Pros

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

Cons

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.
