Pros

Good environment among peers. Very talented devs (many of them gone).

Cons

Their COVID response was disastrous. Even with confirmed cases inside the office they forced (and still do!) everyone to come to the office. When we asked to work from home it was rejected and they only suggested to wash our hands. This dangerous situation they put their employees in forced a great number of developers to leave, so they might be actively hiring to rebuild their teams. Management is obscenely old-school. The IT area is not, and probably will never be, seen as a driver of success, but just a mere support area. Benefits are practically non-existent.

Pros

Decent salary, but still not enough, and not even comparable with other airlines, also the low cost ones.

Cons

Everything. The worst company I have ever worked for, 0, ZERO respect for the workers. Your are just a slave, that needs to sell as much scratch cards and products on board. If you don't do it? They will call you on your personal mobile and tell you that it's not acceptable and stuff like this, trying to scare you. I have seen people FIRED for this, and even for other stupid things. Also sometimes, it's SO unsafe! There's cabin crews, that I met, that literally don't know anything about this work, not even closing the doors properly. Absolutely a disaster, but yeah, you just need to sell as much as possible, who cares about the rest.. Also, you are not getting paid for OT, it doesn't even exist, usually you do 4 flights in a day, you could start at 5:00 AM (It means that you need to get up at 3:30 maybe, and be at the airport on time), and get back home after 5/6 PM, it happened to me a lot of times, and my health, was absolutely a disaster, I had to leave because I had a lot of medical conditions due to flying too much. I couldn't do that anymore.
