Wooden CEO, micromanaging culture

Pros

Most colleagues are good to work with, interesting industry, and interesting changes in the industry. Opportunity to work overseas

Cons

Average compensation. Sabre used to have inspirational and trusting senior exec leadership ... which has shifted over the past 2 years to stiff and wooden top leadership style (not that credible) - coupled with relentless micro management and lack of empowerment and trust ... small decisions need central approval. Very smart and capable people are not trusted... decision making on commercial deals is too slow and cumbersome which hinders progress and causes loss of market share in some areas.

Pros

The environment is friendly and open. It's easy to collaborate with others to accomplish big things.

Cons

Sabre's product offerings are outdated. They still have customers using command lines from the 1960s. There is no overall cohesive strategy to leapfrog into AI and other relevant technologies. They put a lot of show into products but the products are sewn together into frankenware. Meanwhile each of the internal organizations seemingly have insurmountable walls between them. I watched so many people leave the company and many projects begin with re-learning what had been done before. In addition, some organizations are solving problems that should be shared company wide.

Pros

Very knowledgeable employees, environmentally sound building, interesting industry

Cons

Very little long term strategic planning leads to constant changes in direction. Leadership is a revolving door and each change in leadership results in change in direction. Little diversity in leadership. No training. No maternity leave and 2 weeks vacation is a joke. Culture of fear makes people afraid to talk about issues and little engagement. Not acting as a global company as there is little coordination or communication. Heavy silos. Sold as flexible/work from home but senior leaders are moving towards no work from home. Many jobs being offshored to India. Constant cycles of hire/fire, rinse repeat.
