Pros

- Pay is on-par with Seattle market for non-tech professionals. - Benefits are above average, including travel bennies. - Easily accessible building in downtown Bellevue. - If you have a good manager, you may have a good experience here.

Cons

- Politics gamesmanship was not only rampant, but also encouraged, even on day one. Management here will change vision without notice and feed you one narrative while simultaneously scheming up a diametrically opposed narrative. Folks will lie to your face about information that you know that they previously conveyed. - Large company size + lack of processes + zero training = a nightmare of arbitrariness. - The expectation - at least in my experience - is that you pepper people with questions at all times. This constant Sherlocking is somehow supposed to take the place of smart, efficient workplace processes and easily ascertainable year-over-year goals.

Pros

Constant state of transformation is ripe environment for new hires and functional experts from big name tech companies

Cons

Pre-covid the culture was really special. Collaborative, engaging, people-centric, with a unifying mission to enable travel for the world. Since covid there has been a revolving door of executive leadership, and with each round, they throw out the current strategy to try something "new" without building from the current or past successes. Constant change, but no clear vision or strategy of what they are trying to change to. Lack of strategy and low risk tolerance leads to too many priorities with not enough investment to move the needle in anything. Quarterly layoffs, but executed quietly team by team so as not to make news. No psychological safety. Talent strategy since covid is to hire externally over internal promotions to gain "functional expertise" therefore difficult to grow your career. Siloed divisions not working towards common goal. Lacks operating model maturity needed for a company of this size likely do to revolving door of execs and priorities. A cash cow company with an identity crisis trying to be an AI innovator. Build vs buy mentality slows them down. Too many exec pet projects that aren't vetted with proper business cases.
