Business Outlook
Pros
The benefits are good, and you'll be working for a recognizable brand. There are a lot of talented and interesting people in the company. Travel is an interesting and complex product - you'll be challenged and never bored.
Cons
Senior Management changes every 16-18 months, constant re-orgs, and high employee turnover rate make it difficult to execute against any vision. Compensation isn't on parity with the expectations of the amount of work you can accomplish. 10+ hours a day are not uncommon - especially in the dev and IT orgs. Highly matrixed organization to the point of being ineffective. Legacy technology platform hampers innovation and speed-to-market.
