Pros

Salary, some business travel (depending on the department), multinational work environment, depending on your position you get to interact with externals: Airlines, Agents, IT providers, GDSs, Airports, ATSPs, etc...

Cons

- Simply put, an absent HR department and lack of leadership from top management - Favoritism and nationality (French, Spanish) ghettos and cliques. - Silencing and stigmatizing people with innovative ideas and who stand out - Your immediate manager's nationality, culture and personality dictates your experience in IATA. There's no unifying culture or values. Values are just hung on the wall. - It is mostly a European-run company, which does not reflect the regions of growth of aviation world-wide (Asia, Middle East, Africa and Latin America) - No career progression at all or a career path, people are simply left to pickle in their positions. - So much untapped potential, in IATA we've got some of the brightest people but they are all frustrated. - Same faces doing the same fun things in IATA over and over again. There's no rotation or cross-pollination or ideas, people here are very territorial. - Your career is decided based on who you know, and in case you are a woman, how short a skirt you can wear and cleavage you can show, which is really sad

Prestigious name with good benefits

Not a place for career growth and more of a retirement plan. They do not value competence and prefer to hire puppets
