Pros

Smart, talented work force. Excellent challenges in travel technology. Some groups - typically those that are directly delivering to clients, are dynamic and motivated. Great cafeteria.

Cons

Fear-based leadership. Internal obsession with "optics" and the perception that a project is always awash in a green and go to go status, until it suddenly isn't and then the person who raises risk is challenged to prove it. Extremely uneven expectations, evaluations and abilities especially among mid-senior leadership. Heavy reliance on poor communication methods (email threads). Managers are counseled that one method to handle difficult or awkward emails is by simply not responding.

Pros

Friendly coworkers and managers Good PTO Hybrid work schedule

Cons

Frequent layoffs Unreasonable work expectations No upward movement Low pay vs market Some departments don’t abide by hybrid expectations, so your team may be there 9-5 three days per week while another team shows up once or twice a week for only a few hours. Overly focused on AI while the stock still underperforms.
