A Sinking Ship without a Rudder

Pros

The benefits are reasonable. Work / Life balance is actually pretty good (when not heads down on a project). Have a great CFO (who was better before Sean took over).

Cons

Still no big sales. Customers don't trust Sabre and thus are abandoning them. The software is over 40 years old, not extensible and is too fragile; causing outages is too easy. After a year of Sean Menke at the helm, there still isn't any real plausible strategy. Thus, with Project Atlas winding down (the focus on stability; that really didn't do what it was supposed to do), the teams are now trying to focus on the future. But going in the direction that they say they want to go will just mean losing more to Amadeus. Wanting a culture of 'action' and holding people accountable are great - if people only knew what they are supposed to be doing and where they were supposed to be going.

Pros

The people are great to work with. Actually miss a large number of them. The pay and benefits are great as well.

Cons

Leadership is disconnected from reality. Waving a $100.00 bill in people's faces in order to get people to make less mistakes so we do not have as many outages is proof in how far removed from the real world the CEO is. The real issue is that the company was allowed to grow organically for so many decades, that there is now an insurmountable task at hand of trying to modernize the code base. The issue is that the code base is so old and was designed with compartmentalized/horizontal development, that teams do not know what they will break  downstream until after integration of the code from all teams occurs.
