Pros

Depending on which Business Unit you are in, you can be protected. Some of the areas, such as Sabre Labs, seems to be doing some interesting work.

Cons

CEO was third choice after one person passed away and another turned down the job. He uses threats and intimidation to "motivate". Also, his one go-to tool is layoffs as he can't figure out any other way to help the company. The President of Hospitality is the definition of a terrible leader and is causing everyone to jump ship. Ex-consultant with first time leading a P&L has nothing to show for his efforts and ran out of time to blame on the prior regime. Constantly forgets what he asks for, sets up people to fail, and thinks he is above everyone else.

Pros

Friendly coworkers and managers Good PTO Hybrid work schedule

Cons

Frequent layoffs Unreasonable work expectations No upward movement Low pay vs market Some departments don’t abide by hybrid expectations, so your team may be there 9-5 three days per week while another team shows up once or twice a week for only a few hours. Overly focused on AI while the stock still underperforms.
