Pros

- Many different technologies - Various products - A couple of good specialist - Thanks to product and technology diversity there are many opportunities to self-educate yourself

Cons

- Very poor pay-rise rate - Senior management doesn't about you - No strategy for quality of software - 'Official' Agile methodology is practically a cover for mess, chaos and ignorance - Competence and work experience is not really appreciated - Very long way to promotion - HR department has too much power, and for that reason they block many good initiatives.

Pros

Good benefits and great teams with solid experience. However, lack of raises that keep up inflation.

Cons

Sabre is suffering financially and it's not looking good. Debt load is increasing (just check out the SEC filings and quarterly shareholder reports) and mass layoffs aren't going to solve their significant problems. Executive leadership goes through a predictable and ineffective cycle of layoffs, reorganization, revised strategy, failure to deliver, and start it all over again with layoffs. Airlines are leaving en-masse, and they can't compete with Amadeus who are leaving Sabre in the dust. While there are some solid leaders there are many who are arrogant and think they walk on water while failing to deliver results. Sabre was once a great company to work for and many still feel that way, but unless they can pull out a miracle I feel they are heading for a huge fire sale.

Pros

Some great people work here for some reason. I worked alongside some very talented developers, product owners, and architects. It’s easy to keep a good work life balance, I never worked above 40 hours in a week ever.

Cons

Management could not be more clueless, flailing around aimlessly like a rudderless ship. Trying a new strategy every four months, no surprise that nothing works out when you never give anything time to cook. Constant reshuffles of teams and priorities, everything constantly felt like we were just lines on a spreadsheet being played with until it looked good, with no thought given to the real world human beings that those lines represented. The most recent round of layoffs were done in the most unprofessional haphazard way I have ever seen in my entire career, leaving the whole company hanging for two weeks waiting for news. Career progression is utterly meaningless, I received multiple promotions that meant absolutely nothing, no raise or anything. Compensation is subpar for the industry, unless you are in the C-suite of course.
