    I have been working at Travelport full-time for more than a year

    Pros

    Some great bosses, flexible work arrangements

    Lots of things can be done better and people know it. There's just lots of inertia preventing it.

    I have been working at Travelport full-time for more than 3 years

    Pros

    Some old timers enjoy what they do and try to help. Flexibility in terms of working from home.

    Cons

    The churn at this company is never-ending. Talks of layoffs year over year which leads to low morale and everyone holding their breath. This company can’t seem to figure out how to stay relevant in the marketplace. We desperately need to hire more people but the company will not do it. This leads to overworked, burnt-out employees. There is no such thing as work/life balance here. Too many employees have been here 15+ years which leads to stale thought processes and an unwillingness to change. Upper management has tried over the years to streamline end to end processes but miserably fails. A severe disconnect between upper management and employees. Always apples to oranges conversations which leads to great frustration amongst employees. Project implementations take forever because Travelport refuses to integrate three systems therefore, a waste of time and resources spent on trying to keep three systems in parity. Getting approvals for loads is as easy as a round peg in a square hole. Way too many layers and you have people that don’t even understand what it is you are trying to load into the system. Airlines are frustrated at how slow Travelport is at loading changes or implementing projects. A new CEO is in place but again, someone from inside the industry who vows change yet didn’t do any better when running a different GDS. Pay is low and bonuses are structured so that you never get 100%. Advancement in this company is virtually non-existent. Take what you learn and move on as quickly as you can. Overall airlines are moving away from the GDS model and Travelport is chasing its tail.

    I worked at Travelport full-time for more than 3 years

    Pros

    Leadership have a strong vision for the future but are extremely poor with communicating it to staff at all levels. The budgets forever sign off financial investment into systems, products and people- historically it was a matter of he who shouted loudest and longest received incremental investment but it seems as though the move back to PE is helping turn around this thinking. Travelport has the right systems in place to support flexible working. Positive investment in learning and development but not extensively at all levels. The office is currently being “refreshed” which at the very least will make it a pretty place on the M4 to spend 37.5 hours a week. There is so much to fix and as a result great projects to get involved in- your CV will make you stand out in the external market. Join, take everything you can then move onwards and upwards in your career beyond Travelport.

    Cons

    Everything else. The people 'on the ground' are all really friendly and welcoming to your face but much like school politics ... keep your wits about you because if you fall out of favour these same people will band together to remove you. Old company with people who have been in the same role and or team for decades (many straight from school) the impact being they have no first hand knowledge of working for other companies and are unwilling to change the way they do things. If you manage to align yourself to the old guard (at all levels) you will succeed. For the past 3 years there have been large scale redundancies linked more to face fit rather than performance or business need ( see point above) Poor systems and communication bottom down.

    I worked at Travelport

    Pros

    Lots of unnecessary spending on entertainment and travel.

    Cons

    Yet more redundancies 120 to go this time, less then a year after doing the same. Unpaid holiday has to be taken to save money.
