Pros

If you get the right line of report, you will be noticed for being creative, a problem solver, resourceful and for thinking outside the box. And you will be rewarded with career opportunities. Management and teams are engaged and smart, knowledgeable and committed with producing top quality work. However employees tend to be way more ready to work for best-of, than company is willing to invest in. Investment is carefully planned and many areas will suffer from chronic negligence in heir own internal process and system enhancements, just because they are not core to the mainstream line of revenue.

Cons

Director, manager or direct reporting line may not be the optimal at all times and that will slow down your career. Need to build your network and navigate politics to ensure you are placed at a nursery ground and not a burial. The ability ton contribute and truly affect change is extremely conditioned by the direct report ability to run risks and take the leap of trust. The glass ceiling is there when you have direct reporting line up that is less developed than the talent they direct. Make sure you don't end up under a boss that is less experienced, less academically educated, and less eager to risk transformational bold moves, than you are. It may otherwise become very painful. And it happens.

Pros

Stable company. Pretty big but generally good environment. Salaries are not very competitive but, if right talent, probably can get a good offer. A lot of smart people and technology is complex (a lot to learn). High market share in US and Latin America but not bad outside either. Company trying to transform itself into a true technology company.

Cons

Global Distribution System (GDS) side (Travel Network) is the cash cow of the business and the whole business model is under a threat (although the threat has existed for a long time). As company is trying to become a true technology company, it is stretching itself a bit so there are layoff cycles. New outside blood is being brought in that is a threat to old-timers but also threatens to push out the deep knowledge of industry and the system. Salaries are not very competitive but new hires can probably demand more if the right talent.
