Pros

Industry leader; diversity in the travel business (airlines, corporate travel, hotel, airport IT, BI, ...); great opportunities internationally; internal mobility; people diversity (many origins and backgrounds); community feeling; very good team and middle management for the most part; great work-life balance and decent compensation.

Cons

European centric (a cons if you are based elsewhere); core technology is aging but evolving; good efforts to invest in evolutionary technology is impeded by politics; slow moving and a tendency to reinvent the wheel instead of using open-source tools and frameworks.

Pros

- Learning opportunities, every day brought something new to tackle or explore - Decent benefits package that covered the essentials - Competitive salary relative to industry standards

Cons

- Management is aggressively enforcing a hybrid model, even for remote employees, and is rescinding previously agreed upon contracts. There's a glaring lack of strategic vision from leadership. - If you're based in Europe or North America, job security is virtually nonexistent unless you're in upper management. Roles are being shifted to India, Colombia, and the Philippines, with cost-cutting prioritized over talent, experience, or loyalty. - The forced migration to Azure, compounded by poor planning, is draining resources. And employees are paying the price — not just through increased workload, but by being let go in recent layoffs (October '25). With many of the positions eliminated quietly transferred to offshore. - Layoffs are being justified as “market alignment” and financial necessity. Yet at the same time, the company continues to absorb small to medium-sized companies, raising serious questions about transparency, priorities, and long-term stability.
