Pros

- Interesting, challenging and high impact roles offered early in one's career. Opportunity to explore all sorts of areas. - Very interesting and complex industry: events all around the world impact the airlines directly and that is both challenging and exciting. Complex eco-system of other airlines, travel agents, etc. - Good work life balance - Staff travel perks are great compared to not working for an airline, but not very good compared to working for other airlines (high price, limited availability) - A lot of nice, smart and expert people. A lot of middle to low-senior managers are really lovely.

Cons

- Travel industry is taking a massive hit with Covid so the future of jobs at the airline is uncertain. - Very dysfunctional, low empathy, ego-driven senior leadership with little incentive to maintain the long-term health of the airline. CEO is known to be a bully.
