Pros

Sabre (inlcuding Travelocity, Airline Solutions, and Travel Network) is great for folks that like a collegial atmosphere, a decent work environment, and the travel industry. It promotes a good work-life balance, and has a great campus. Compensation is fair, not great. It's a company where its common to move between vastly different businesses under one roof - online .com, Fortune 500 product marketing / account management, and hardcore software product experience can all be obtained. Its the kind of company where employees who like it enough to stay for 3 years generally go on to stay for 7-10.

Cons

Sabre isn't a company to bet your career on, especially if you're more ambitious. Once you're in place, expect to advance at most a level (maybe two) over 5-6 years - and then stop. There are not many promotion opportunities since it's geared to defend its market share - not grow. Its core business of travel agency distribution is stagnant/shrinking, and unlike other companies there's no strategic business vision for growth. Combined with the private equity ownership (increasing the short-term and defensive viewpoints), the result is periodic layoffs and lack of promotion opportunities.

Mgmt worried about their own jobs and will use lower levels to scapegoat to keep theirs. Lack of forward vision and trying to stay relevant in marketplace by chasing latest trends in name only.
