      Pretty good company to work for with good vibes

      Pros

      - Generous staff travel benefits which are not limited to Qantas but also to numerous partner airlines - A very organised (in a positive way), large MNC - one of the largest airlines in the world and the largest airline of Australia, so very good for your resume in Australia - A pretty positive general working vibe/culture, but of course could vary by team/location/department - In general, there are some pretty talented and smart people - It feels reasonably diverse, both in terms of demographics and skill set

      Cons

      - Offshore teams can sometimes be forgotten, but I don't blame them, given their weighting in their home country - You can sometimes feel the arrogance of people due to the company's stature - Low turnover, which could be good, but is bad because it means you have people who have worked too long at one company and forgotten how big the world is outside your last 10+ years of working life - Airlines are one of the first companies to suffer in times of economic downturns, so you need to watch out for that! - Limited opportunities for career growth outside of Australia, due to nature of their business (compared to companies with huge presence in several countries) - I get the feeling that they underpay in dollar terms due to their generous staff travel benefit - which, whilst a good thing, I'd probably pick a higher dollar salary if it means foregoing this benefit!

      Great place to work, but where the salary at?

      Pros

      - Culture is great. - People are great. - Very little, to no office politics. - Leaders will go out of their way to develop you if you want to put in the effort. - Lots of options to work in other areas and fields. - Lots of diversity in senior executives. - Staff travel discounts are lit. No really, you can fly practically anywhere in the world for next to nothing.

      Cons

      - Pay is meh. Like really meh. - You can pick up extra responsibilities and major workloads very easily... you won't get paid for it, and you won't get an appropriate title to match either - Getting an approved pay review is like asking a stranger for their left kidney. Good luck. - If you're interviewing for a role at Qantas, NEGOTIATE your salary now. You will not get a pay raise. It's now or never.

      Pros

      Flexible work conditions and many areas to move around. Staff travel benefits. You feel part of an aviation family. Salary ok for the work done when compared to other roles outside of aviation. Iconic brand to be associated with.

      Cons

      Depends on what sort of manager you have makes a huge difference. Office politics .

      Toxic head office

      Pros

      Staff travel, convenient office location

      Cons

      Run by toxic middle managers who will do and say anything to get ahead. Lies, deception and covert bullying all around. Far lower than market rate pay because of the staff travel which is unreliable and obviously not been that useful in recent years.

      Pros

      Travel as part of the job. Staff travel benefits

      Cons

      Poor pay for the work required. Conditions are regularly being cut. Greedy CEO who happily accepts bonuses, but asks some of his lowest paid staff to take pay freezes.
