Pros

Nice weather all year long Good salary Great balance work/life If you like the functional part of the airline industry, it is the right place for you

Cons

Few chances of career (if you are a dev, you need to stop coding and learn functional stuff) You will not improve your coding skills, old technologies, internal tools, ugly code If you like coding, you want to leave within 2 years before you forget how to code. You don't really make a lot of new code, you will fix the numerous bugs, respond to complaining customers, and do maintenance of the code most of the time You will not work with a lot of smart people

Pros

- Learning opportunities, every day brought something new to tackle or explore - Decent benefits package that covered the essentials - Competitive salary relative to industry standards

Cons

- Management is aggressively enforcing a hybrid model, even for remote employees, and is rescinding previously agreed upon contracts. There's a glaring lack of strategic vision from leadership. - If you're based in Europe or North America, job security is virtually nonexistent unless you're in upper management. Roles are being shifted to India, Colombia, and the Philippines, with cost-cutting prioritized over talent, experience, or loyalty. - The forced migration to Azure, compounded by poor planning, is draining resources. And employees are paying the price — not just through increased workload, but by being let go in recent layoffs (October '25). With many of the positions eliminated quietly transferred to offshore. - Layoffs are being justified as “market alignment” and financial necessity. Yet at the same time, the company continues to absorb small to medium-sized companies, raising serious questions about transparency, priorities, and long-term stability.
