Current Employee – been working at SITA full-time for more than 10 years

Pros – Same stuff everyone says - great people at the worker level, great multicultural experience, great travel opportunities for some roles.

Cons – SITA has been failing at virtually every project it tries. Voyager is a disaster, though management says it delivered "on time and on budget", which was a bald faced lie. The new finance system is a disaster, with no good data available to help manage the business. No career opportunities for those inside. Few to no raises. They reorg every year, as a way to wallpaper over the lack of business performance and issues within the businesses. But they never follow through on the reorganizations to make the current organization effective, before they reorg again. So over the last 6-7 years, the company has become progressively less effective. And morale is absolutely horrible. Either the CEO is blind to the problems, or there is a very effective filter of all issues that keeps him from being aware (which is cultivated by the fact that he is very volatile and loses his temper with his senior team a lot). This company absolutely WILL go out of business if it continues on the current path.

Advice to Senior Management – Wake to reality. Confront the problems honestly. And reward your high performers - because they are the only ones that can help you get out of the mess you have allowed to build since Francesco was hired.
