Travelport Reviews

Pros

I worked with lots of people who had broad technical and industry knowledge and who were more than willing to help others.

Cons

The company outsourced a large part of the technical team and lost a lot of technical expertise and experience when they laid off a substantial portion of their tech team.

Pros

Old management team has largely left the business finally getting focus on what the company is about New president and management team is focused on change

Cons

Still takes forever for decisions to be made and communicated Internal roles are often filled without formal process or communication most of the company is still moving at a pre-change pace and has no accountability.

Advice to Management

Communicate the vision Align leadership Clean house and get people accountable.

Pros

It’s a company undergoing enormous change so if you also think that’s a ‘pro’ rather than a ‘con’ it’s a rewarding place to work. That change has some great foundations – a customer base that’s stable, solid financials, and employees who are loyal and really care about the company. Generally speaking – but of course depending on the function you work in – there is opportunity to grow your career because of, rather... than despite, the transformation taking place. Culturally, I find it a friendly and supportive environment and relatively apolitical (viewed from the experience of having worked in a number of global companies).

Cons

Company-wide change inevitably causes disruption and that can make working life tough . Not all areas of the business are changing at the same speed and that’s sometimes a challenge. Office locations are often out of town, reducing the social aspect of work which usually accompanies city centre locations.

Advice to Management

Significant investment needed by the new owners to clear technical debt and set the company on the path to high growth. Whilst bringing in new talent from other industries is necessary, there’s a risk of a loss of culture and identity, and that needs to be managed carefully

Pros

Fantastic working environment where your team feels like your family

Cons

Too many chances that do not necessarily reflect what the customers need Management does not listen to employees on the front lines Too many "pilots" that end up in nothing Lack of consistency Internal systems are incredibly outdated, they delay absolutely everything

Advice to Management

Listen to your employees, especially the ones that have daily conversations with your customers. Stop trying out new processes all the time - every year there's a new way of doing things. It's confusing, and employees can never be up to speed. Worry about updating the internal systems and getting the different teams talking to each other. It's important that everyone understands what everyone else is doing so... we can all move towards a shared vision.

Pros

Being recently acquired, the new owners are focusing on turning the company around

Cons

Years of neglect, outdated platforms, and no process makes it a very difficult place to navigate and work with

Pros

Cons

Pros

Cons

Currently in a period of change, but great plans ahead.

Cons

Can be political at times

Advice to Management
