Pros
Unique business model Interesting projects to try A stepping stone to better opportunities In most cases people are genuinely nice to work with
Cons
Inertia from Cathay Pacific is really hard to beat. When the mother company is losing money hand over fist because the management does not know how to handle the costs, you cannot expect Asia Miles’s outperformance to matter. Too many heads of department, all with good intentions, but a lot of unproductive infighting about things that do not matter. Some heads of departments creates really toxic environment for employees. Just look at the massive turn over. Asia Miles lost some really good people. To solve this, Asia Miles keeps hiring new comers from Europe with massive relocation packages. They will stick around because of the visa, but this is not the best way to retain your people.
