Pros
Pros: Amazing brand you would be proud as punch to work for! The staff travel perks are definitely a bonus and seem to get seen as a “salary” component given their base salaries are lower than industry for tech and product roles. You get to work on some amazing truly relevant product deliverables that really delight the customer and their experience!
Cons
I found it incredibly toxic in my first 2 months there! Almost wanted to jump ship. As they really allow toxic culture to survive and have a place there. Caveat: I found it related to people who had been at Qantas for 30+ years and who were more disgruntled with the newcomers with different skillset and agile experiences. Some of the team members who have been there a longer time have an incredible amount of sme knowledge but not necessarily up to do skillset to align with industry. But this causes a divide within the org especially in product teams if existing team members don’t necessarily see agile experience and external experience as value! You just have to figure out how to navigate through the noise and the people! Once you find your crew, it’s a wonderful place to be. Recruitment is also painfully slow! It’s not a reflection of you. It’s just process and small internal TA teams who are overloaded with roles to fill.
