Pros

Executive exposure especially for those early in their careers. Great opportunities to learn the FP&A role and industry tools/software. Health benefits relatively cheap for single employees. Family plans get expensive quickly but that seems to be the case in any company.

Cons

High turnover especially among executive leaders. Constant leadership changes create constant vision changes for the company. Endless re-organizations that hinder any good 2-5 year plans from coming to fruition. Long hours. Ability to get recognition and promotion if you have a manager who advocates for you. If you do not have a manager who advocates for you or your managers constantly change you will burn out or be forced out regardless of merit.

Pros

Tech industry, rebuilding the business, trying to remain innovative

Cons

Downsized twice this year around 1000 employees overall Lost the human culture in an effort to keep the board happy with $$$$$ Might be more layoffs if they don't start bringing in the $$$$$

A Sinking Ship without a Rudder

Pros

The benefits are reasonable. Work / Life balance is actually pretty good (when not heads down on a project). Have a great CFO (who was better before Sean took over).

Cons

Still no big sales. Customers don't trust Sabre and thus are abandoning them. The software is over 40 years old, not extensible and is too fragile; causing outages is too easy. After a year of Sean Menke at the helm, there still isn't any real plausible strategy. Thus, with Project Atlas winding down (the focus on stability; that really didn't do what it was supposed to do), the teams are now trying to focus on the future. But going in the direction that they say they want to go will just mean losing more to Amadeus. Wanting a culture of 'action' and holding people accountable are great - if people only knew what they are supposed to be doing and where they were supposed to be going.
