Pros

Easy to excel if you know what you're doing Politics is out in the open, making it easy to know where you (and others) stand Lack of attention and accountability from upper management makes it easy to coast

Cons

If you're not a B player, you'll get bored by the uninspiring work Easy to advance (just play the political game), but generally hallow victories Managers are more interested in size of their organization than meaningfulness of work; every public speech by senior management includes stats about their org size More emphasis on how you're perceived than on doing the right thing - leads to lack of transparency and lots of playing the blame game

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.
