Pros

1. Local management are very result-oriented. Everything is about facts and numbers. As long as you can get your numbers rocket high, you are fine. 2. Great company perks and an awesome colorful office. 3. People from other departments or offices are helpful. 4. Great in house trainings. Really loved the trainings provided, which teaches you how to build rapport with customers, deal with colleagues, reply email etc. Keep up the good work! 5. Best senior manager I have ever seen. Great leader who care and concern about employees. And one who walk the talk.

Cons

1. Racism issue in the team and the manager want to address it. Believe it or not, I was told to accept it. Ended up continuously bullied by those people who stayed with the team longer. 2. Micro-managing. Restrict your toilet time. Working in shift with 11 hours, is already not happy. Added to that, you only get mere 15 minutes break each 5 hours of work, and not more than 10 mins a day at the toilet. Spending a bit more time in the loo will raise the awareness of the manager and be ready to get emailed or be addressed in 1 on 1. Even if you are late to office a min, you are doom. 3. All tickets replied have to be reviewed by QA, which is fine, but manager will address and magnify every concerns raised by QA. As much as I agree with providing best customer satisfaction, over-magnifying small mistakes every single week will not help in building up analyst confidence in replying tickets. 4. Hidden technical knowledge. Seniors have their own group of knowledge sharing, tier 2 has their own group as well. That to be said, you will never gain any new knowledge other than that from KBs, or sharepoint. UNLESS you have some really kind seniors who are willing to share information with you. 5. Pay is lower than average. Well, it get compensated by great company benefits. So it's really up to you to see if it's a pro or con.

Pros

Great work-life balance, understanding folks, great culture and events, scope to grow without a lot of politics.

Cons

On some teams, work can be redundant and slow; ownership with MLS is more than with MLEs.

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.
