Pros

international colleagues central office in Amsterdam

Cons

- salary: low salary, does not matter if you have diplomas or not, they make no difference - Management: extremely poorly managed. Management will force the company decisions on you. You either comply and say nothing or you'll be pushed to the door. Management is hierarchic, you should be seen well by the right people if you want any promotion. - a culture of taking every day a decision that will make your daily work worse. When you think it can't be worse than it is, it will be. - poorly working systems - almost no opportunity to grow in the department. You can pretend to a senior position, which will basically be being handled the tasks supervisors no longer wish to do. - insane pressure put on employees: headcount shortage. They will always give you more work, and tell you you have to be a team player - no consideration for teams and workload - poor communication: decisions forced on you, no room for feedback from employees - workload is unmanageable, unrealistic targets - absolutely no consideration nor gratitude for your work. The best employees are pushed to resign. - high turnover: they prefer to replace people rather than valuing them - extremely toxic atmosphere in the office - high percentage of people in depression or burn out

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.
