Pros

-Flight perks are a nice bonus. -Good exposure to the travel sector. -It’s a household brand name.

Cons

-Complete lack of guidance or direction from the top. -Mass exodus happening right now, more than 50% of the Designers ICs have already walked out, and almost everyone else is actively looking. -Massive anxiety over the Adelaide relocation; people are terrified for their jobs. -The Design "managers" and leads who survived the restructure are completely incompetent. Easily the worst leadership group I've ever encountered.
