Pros

Travel. Nothing else really. This is a warning to management to think about their people before they lose any more talent.

Cons

No process, poor comp and not caring about employees. This company pays probably the poorest in tech, bait and switch with bonuses that are performance based so they pit you against your coworkers to make the most small changes possible to make the most money without thinking about the customer, the experience or the happiness of travelers. This company is about one thing, money they make while optimizing. This type of attitude will not help them to succeed in the future or keep this company afloat in the years to come. If someone is asked to do something that they won't be graded on then they won't do it.

Pros

People are great, I have created amazing connections and friendships along the way. Fun work environment we work hard but are able to play harder. Global reach, often connecting with people around the world.

Cons

Not much mobility and constant change. Hard to be stable in that kind of environment. Many times the plan is not fully complete before expecting execution and very siloed creating duplication of effort and work.
