Pros

Great benefits, work life balance

Cons

- Toxic C Level - For a global company they are very arrogant towards other teams or colleagues from countries that are not: USA or UK - No equal opportunities for career growth: Even if all your feedbacks were great, if you delivered more than what you were supposed to, you won’t get a decent raise and or promotions as your fellow NORAM co workers (heard that from my director after a feedback session “unfortunately if you are not in Seattle or London is very difficult for you to grow in our area” - so I left) - Micromanagement - Brand team very narrow minded and old fashion - They just don’t care about each region uniqueness, culture, laws, way of work. Let’s implement the American way of doing things (which are very 80s) - They pitched an amazing role, reality is that we just have to do what told. No room for decision making, improvement or creativity.

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.
