Pros

+Good employee flight benefits. +Additional private health insurance.

Cons

-The job was very different from what was described during recruitment. -As an engineer with 10 years of experience, I was assigned mainly to cleaning aircraft parts, which was the same work done by interns. -I was not informed before joining that this would be an “experiment”. When I raised concerns to managers and supervisors, they were ignored. -Management structure is very heavy, with many managers, supervisors and strong micromanagement. -After moving to office work, I experienced daily bullying and hostile behavior. Such behavior was officially reported by several employees, but no action was taken. -Request to move to another position inside the company was refused. -There was no exit interview and no contact from HR after resignation. -I relocated to another country and declined a higher-paid job based on the role that was offered. Only after joining did I understand that the work did not match my experience. I tried many times to solve the situation professionally, but no solution was offered. The situation affected my mental health, and I finally resigned.

Oh, where do I even begin with the magnificent experience I had with Air Baltic Airlines? It was truly a masterclass in customer service, if by "masterclass" you mean the complete absence of it. Firstly, the leg space on their aircraft is a true testament to their commitment to making passengers feel like sardines in a can. It's like they've taken inspiration from a can of soda and thought, "Let's make our passengers feel just as cramped!" And let's not forget the delightful surprises that come with delayed flights. No hotel? No problem! Who needs a good night's sleep when you can camp out at the airport? And as for food, well, who needs nourishment after hours of waiting? Oh, and when they canceled my flight, I was overjoyed by the sheer lack of compensation. It's as if they believe canceling flights is a service they're providing for our benefit. In conclusion, if you're looking for an airline that takes pride in making your journey as uncomfortable and inconvenient as possible, Air Baltic is the undisputed champion. Kudos to them for setting the bar so high!
