Pros

Growth opportunities are decent in most teams from lower levels making it an ok entry point into the industry. Flight Centre brand reflects well with other employers. Salaries are middling but not the worst.

Cons

Management is very political and decisions seem to be based more on favouritism than anything else. Inequality between foreign and local staff. Local employees used more as cheap labour with only government required benefits, while expats enjoy a lot more. Senior leaders lack trust in their teams and have a ‘my way or the highway’ perspective, even if they lack experience or knowledge of an area.

Pros

- Receive a monthly incentive. - Flexible to work from anywhere, as long as you can explain any urgent matters.

Cons

- Micromanaging leadership. - No meaningful salary increases in line with expectations. - No clear career development opportunities. - Leadership roles favor expatriates over local employees. - Job postings appear to be a formality rather than genuine hiring efforts. - Ongoing layoffs create job insecurity. - Performance is judged by voting instead of actual results or manager evaluation, encouraging popularity over merit. - Questionable talent decisions, with less emphasis on qualifications and education level.
