Pros

Good colleagues. Product does help travelers with their connectivity. Great office location. Lots of responsibility for each team member, and opportunity to make big impact for company. Company is public, fortunes appear to be turning the corner. Word is getting around about the value of the services. Nasdaq: iPAS

Cons

Management views staff as completely disposable. The team experiments and makes large changes on regular basis, and has switched directions a couple times in my short stint here. They are very stingy with bonus and commission compensation. Whether this is their all star performers or people they want to show the door, everybody gets low balled. Turnover is amazing in so many departments. Sales, marketing, HR, operations, finance. It doesn't matter. They have had layoffs for several years, and even with new management 2016 was no exception. They laid off so many people they had to bring back a couple to do critical jobs a couple months later. Nepotism is practiced here despite this being a public company. Good jobs also given to ex-employees and family friends of leadership (ex. CEO, CCO). If you're not in the gang, and things get tough, you are and will be disposable since there are protected staff members here. The public stock and financials look ok, but the restructuring seems to have no end.
