Pluspunten

Big growth in recent years. Must give credit to that. Money investment done well. Partner management done well.

Minpunten

Top leaders-middle layer-employees structure is more like 20-60-20. The company is a money making machine for top management And the HUGE crowd of middle management. They are like 80% of the company. A typical place where only non management staffs do the real work to build the products. Many managers are slackers. Top leaders are inspirational speakers. They make you trust, admire them so much, but when it comes to Feedback, Deliver, management is the only one who is giving Feedback, and employees are the only ones who do delivering. The company is also a former Washington Mutual 'mafia' occupied place. WaMus are very exclusive, causing an awkward situation where you are not welcome to be part of it, neither you can have a different voice. Awkward. Juniors, consider yourself warned, unless you want to become a useless person who is only good at politics, do not join. Your managers speak about you as such : do not tell these kids that they can get more salary somewhere else or they will all leave. You know someone who really care about your career or really smart does not talk like that.

Pluspunten

Constant state of transformation is ripe environment for new hires and functional experts from big name tech companies

Minpunten

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.
