SITA - Great if you are one of the boys club

Anonymous employee

Pros

Looks good on the C.V. and currently they pay health insurance in some territories. Great exposure to international teams and a very diverse set of skills (line management and customer facing members). Initial pay is good but better negotiate hard on day one because you will quickly become a number when it comes to review in yr 2 and beyond

Cons

If you are aligned with the little clique that seems to do no wrong and suffer no consequence of outrageously inward looking and self ingratiating policies you will do well. You will occasionally come across true professionals who care about solutions and the people in their care, but this will be increasingly rare. A staggering ability to embark upon organizational change every 12mths and then abort half way through leaving whole groups without the people they need and no way to hire due to a headcount freeze from GVA. A HR system that is totally ineffectual and makes no effort to retain talent. Senior managers with no experience in the fields they manage. Get in and out while this dinosaur still survives as the pay and accountability around performance is poorly managed. Invisible CEO unless you are based in Europe

Burnout culture with taxing politics

Business outlook

Pros

Interesting projects and products. Global footprint. A few talented individuals who continuously push forward and carry the rest of the team through tough times.

Cons

Insane amount of politics - everyone seems to have an opinion but only a few show accountability. Lots of team members who are “all talk no action”, leaving an incredible amount of pressure on the ones who actually produce outputs. The company rely on the heroics of a few individuals instead of teamwork, yet underperformers are allowed to cruise along without any consequences. Work life balance is non existent with massive work loads, long hours and late evening calls. Senior leadership is out of touch and extremely reactive - risks are escalated repeatedly but not addressed until they turn into critical issues. Management is demanding but doesn’t provide the necessary support to staff. Deadlines are not driven by meaningful objectives but by factors such as bonuses, and being able to tick things off the list. So rigid about the 3 days in the office but doesn’t put the same amount of effort into resolving more important issues. Benefits are not great.
