Pros

Nice offices, free drinks, good team.

Cons

the more the company become bigger, the less is distributed to the employees. No clear bonus calculation. benefits get worst every year. no work/life balance as your manager expects you to work 60 hours per week, taking no lunches and be available 24/7, 365 days a year. no free discussion with managers, everyone has to say yes. very difficult to change the status quo (unless dictated by top manager). communication is always lost, but everyone is expecting you to be on top of everything.

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.
