Pros

Easy to find life long friends as you are sharing the same bad feelings.

Cons

Micromanaging all agents in a very harsh way. Also, mid-tier management is incompetent and trying to blame other managers for their own mistakes (talking about support). Director has been there since the beginning but still can't understand the updated needs of the team. Too bad that they can't keep the good people and and only keep people that are high in numbers but low in quality of service.

Pros

* It's a great brand * Great partners * Decent product with strong distribution

Cons

* Management style was heavily top-down, with decision-making concentrated among a small group of senior leaders. * This was the same when they were all working at KAYAK under the same group * I observed what I felt was preferential treatment of certain employees (notably of a certain ethnicity - IYKYK), which negatively impacted perceptions of fairness and inclusivity within the organisation. * The workplace environment could be highly stressful, and concerns raised by employees were not always addressed effectively. * Staff wellbeing, retention, and morale appeared to be ongoing challenges during my time with the company.
