Pros

- Lot of learning opportunities if you are not scared to take responsabilities - You can meet and work closely to many valuable and talented colleagues. - Atmosphere in the HR department is overall good, you can be supported and many colleagues will be ready to give you an hand if needed. - Turnover is so high that you can grow very quickly within the Company

Cons

- The company doesn't care about employees. Working hard is not rewarded (I never received neither a 'thank you' for all those things that I have done and I was not supposed to do based on my job title). - Decision making process is long and frustrating. Every time that something needs to be done, you need the approval of someone, who needs the approval of someone else who then ignore emails, message and the result is that the problem still there, you can report it but nobody will do anything until the problem will become bigger and bigger. It is a very frustrating and unprofessional way to work. - They ignore any advices that you may provide. You can report an issue (also legal obligations), explain consequences and steps to solve it but management will not do anything until they will receive a fine or some inspections from local authorities.

Pros

As corny as it sounds - the colleagues, albeit largely due to the shared sense of misery and level of discontent. The travel benefits generally are good

Cons

Communication and lack of direction from senior management is poor . Leaves too much guessing and a culture of blame or just deniability. Poor succession planning and no effort put into employee development. Pay is below market rate and the sense is that you’re lucky to have a job never mind modest pay increases with experience . Zero flexibility- the workforce has changed dramatically over the last years but Ryanair is being dragged kicking and screaming and putting up resistance and every hurdle for better conditions for its overworked staff . As such morale is low and experienced staff walk regularly. Nothing is being done to retain the experience and ultimately it just increase the workload / job title of someone else who rarely gets compensated for the additional duties . While many people in HQ do fit the Ryanair mentality overall it becomes a frustrating place to work and has turned into a revolving door of new faces who rinse and repeat . Whilst I did at a time enjoy my job I couldn’t recommend it as a place to work . For the money there are much better workplaces who deliver more meaningful engagement, benefits and work like balance .
