Pros

Pros: - Great people to work with - airline industry veterans, well qualified employees - Interesting products - Sabre has a broad suite of solutions catering to the airline industry Most of the products solve hard problems and hence it's very good work for employees looking for intellectually stimulating work - Flexible work culture

Cons

Cons: - No visibility in terms of career progression in the bangalore office. " Why should I stay in Sabre Bangalore for 5 years?" - that question is not answered. Many people stick around for 2-3 years, gain good experience and get out - Job titles are evolving as the company grows - please negotiate your designation properly, The career progression is typically very slow here compared to other companies. So the mapping between old job title and new job title is invariably a disappointment to many new joinees - Sabre hires pretty smart people who do contribute well to the business, but when it comes to time or appraisal time, "we haven't met our results" and so you are getting squat - Poor project management practices - You can be pretty sure the first deadline is not met, mostly because an unrealistic deadline was set without thinking about resource availability - Lots of attrition, so there are a number of new managers who themselves don't know company policies too well - Lots of travel but no stipend or per diem, just expense based on actuals - While Sabre has a number of solutions, not all the solutions are "customer ready" but are still rolled out anyway, bugs and all
