As much as I enjoy the industry, I can't say that I enjoy Travelport. We are far behind the other GDSs, the COVID impacts hurt - now they are looking at another IPO later this year. Each change in ownership and capital structure brings about change for the sake of change - not a good place to work
What did you like most about the interview process?
Chance to interact with future team members in a casual setting (lunch), where they felt free to share their unvarnished opinions.
What are some of the best things about your team?
They are an incredibly resilient group with a high skill level. They operate with integrity, and want to make a difference in the success of the organization.
What needs to change to make the company culture better?
A real, articulable strategy that aligns leadership and staff. Our strategy consists of platitudes and window dressing, and has seemingly little to do with what the organization's priorities.
Why do you feel undervalued and what would make you feel better about your compensation?
This is an extremely high risk environment due to the ownership changes and our position at the bottom of the GDS industry. With this level of risk, compensation should be higher.
What's going wrong and how can it be improved?
Capital structure of the company has to change in order to increase investment and innovation. We are far behind the industry, and seem to think we can talk ourselves out of the hole.
What does the leadership team need to get better at?
They are good at what they were hired for, which is to make returns for the private equity owners - now. Unfortunately, Travelport needs operational leaders interested in the long-term success of the organization, and that is not the focus of our leadership team.
