Some good benefits in line with the industry.

Your co-workers will most likely be nice people to know and spend some time with while working.

Laid-back environment.

There's no ownership of the product. After several re-orgs and bad organizational and tech decisions, all good experienced developers left. As a consequence, tech standards are very low. It didn't used to be like that. We were proud of what we deployed to production. We had ownership and control over all parts of the process, from the idea, development, and deployment processes, till monitoring and maintaining it stable.

The company culture promotes "stay in your lane" kind of thinking. Be prepared to be bored out of your mind. All processes are very slow moving. There's too much politics, management trying to push each other out. Be warned of layoffs.

Like any corporation, they'll make you want to be part of a "family"... but then one day you learn someone got laid off because leadership changed and cut without looking. The CEO and everybody at the top get a ridiculous amount of compensation compared to the rest.

Provide real flexibility to your employees. As a travel-focused company, especially after COVID, it's a no-brainer; your employees proved it.

Condescending emails stating that we all love going back to the office are tone-deaf.

Give your tech teams ownership of the product. We are killing innovation with slow processes and a total lack of ownership. Get rid of the politics.
