Pros

Great benefits, good work/life balance, some truly amazing people, diverse work force

Cons

Like any corporate set-up, the actual job/people doing it doesn't matter. All they care about across all sites is making numbers "look good", and management is clueless about who is actually good at the job. No consistency between sites, its very much an us vs them mentality which hurts the department as a whole. No longer bothering to look for qualified candidates. Any warm body will do, then can't seem figure out why they're bleeding money in fraud losses. Not a lot of advancement opportunity if you're not at HQ. VERY political. It's who you know and how loud you can be, not what you know in this department. Sups and managers are almost always in meetings Senior management has no idea how this job is really done.

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.
