Pros

Great people with a friendly atmosphere. The work is consistently interesting and you're encouraged to develop and express your own ideas. A lot of the systems and algorithms are developed in house which gives you a lot of ability to change things, provided you're prepared for a challenge! Good work life balance and fantastic travel benefits, the office is a nice working environment too.

Cons

There isn't a huge amount of accountability and so things can tend to drag on as no-one's got a big incentive to push things. Also no-one ever seems to get fired, which though unpleasant is sadly necessary sometimes. Also the pay isn't great, but this is offset by the staff travel benefits and work/life balance.

Pros

- Internationally known & respected airline - Flight benefits - Strong training programs for young professionals (Commercial Induction Development Program in US; Graduate Scheme in UK)

Cons

- Reorganizations - Can be tough to use flight benefits (especially when not based in UK) and more limited use than other airlines - Coordinating business with joint venture alliance partners is a challenge - Seemingly low ceiling for career advancement
