Vantaggi
I've been with Navitaire since the Accenture days and have enjoyed my job. Until the last few years, the company seemed like a big family and it was a very friendly and stable place to work. My coworkers are some of the brightest people I've ever known.
Svantaggi
Navitaire lacks leadership. The C-Level likes to lead from afar and when they engage with employees they are embarrassingly out of touch and aloof. Lately, there have been questionable hires. Navitaire has had 3 different development directors over the last 3 years. Two of the three know nothing about the airline industry but are allowed to set the direction for our development strategy. Sidelining the dev director who built Navitaire in favor of flashy new guys with zero airline experience was a really really bad idea. There are some good dev managers, but most got promoted due to how long they've been with the company and not qualifications or management experience. Now there are a lot who have no leadership training or management experience but are in charge of large teams. We've lost talented and tenured team members because they lost respect for those in charge of things. Hopefully Navitaire can figure out the management and leadership crisis that plagues us before the intellectual capital leaves.
