Guestlogix

great office with friendly staff, typical work day would be get the office at 830 coffee and start the day with your existing projects. Though out the day confirm with supervisor that your project is on the right track(asking questions , getting them to review your work etc.) or you sit own with your supervisor and go over the next project to be completed. If during the day you are feeling a little overly stressed you take some time to relax and play ping pong.All my co-workers were great people , even those all across the world, the concept of global team is a great way to describe it. This is one of the most interesting parts; Skype meetings with people all across the world. They have monthly activity to do as a company ie) beach day, ping pong tournament etc..

Overall  great work environment , and even as an intern i felt like a part of the team.

Pros

Our leadership team just presented a new vision for our passenger app to not only ease travel during flight but through the whole journey.  I am definitely excited to be part of this journey to create something really special in the travelling landscape.  Leadership encourages initiative into other aspect of the business for company and personal growth.  Colleagues are knowledgeable, fun and supportive.  Even leadership join right in with many of our PS4 tournaments.  I don't think I ever seen so much cheering and laughter over a FIFA or NBA2K game.  Come join the vision and friendship.

Cons

I not sure Cons is the the right word, but there is definitely a trade-off.  With an exciting new vision, comes a lot of hard work to bring it to fruition.  It is not going to be easy to make something great.  Many new opportunity for growth means more responsibility.  You have to be prepare to work hard and maintain great dialogue with all the teams to ensure you are balancing your responsibilities correctly.

Advice to Management

Keep up the transparency. Continue with the lunch & learn. Love the pizza and more importantly, it enhances my understanding of the intricacies of the product.

Working in Guestlogix was the worst experience in many years of my employment history.  Constant change of direction, waste of investors money, disrespect to existing clients, inability to setup proper development process - just few characteristics of Guestlogix. 
The current management is very inexperienced. Nice and open people on the surface but irresponsible and playing backroom games in reality. 
Non-stop talks about the culture and its importance, but with very narrow understanding of it. As soon as you don’t agree with the president you don’t fit into company’s culture. 
Best talent is very quick to realize what this company is about and leave it - in just a year more than half of its stuff has changed, people constantly joining and leaving. It’s becoming quite common when prospective candidate turns down the offer last minute after learning more about company. The atmosphere of instability is only getting worse, but bad decisions from the management keep coming.

Turnover rate in company is extremely high - layoffs after layoffs creates very unstable environment and people are resigning on their own, in just few months the stuff has changed by more than a half.
Leadership is inexperienced and doesn't listen to people - all you say in one-on-one meeting accepted with enthusiasm and...  ignored or even used against you later. 
The quality of hiring process is low - very often weak people hire even weaker people (maybe just to look good?). There is no clear vision or direction, priorities keep changing, development is delayed, customers left neglected.

The company is a disaster. There is no solid direction that is followed. Turnover in the product chain of command is incredibly high, so there is no consistent approach to building anything. Existing products are abandoned half-finished for poorly thought out new ventures. The company fluctuates between ridiculous spending binges and periods of harsh austerity at the drop of a hat. The President hires a huge number of managers that don't actually have anyone reporting to them.

During my tenure at Guestlogix, the company was in a state of flux as it was going through the process of bankruptcy protection and re-tooling itself to become lean and agile as it once was.

Although there was some uncertainty, and clearly some internal politics at play, I would have to say those I worked with and the general management of the company was top-notch. 

As of now, it looks like they have risen through the ashes and continue to shine.  I wish their current team all the best.

Being an employee at Guestlogix has been a nightmare. Management has no idea what they are doing and just let go of my entire team. I am disappointed with the lack of transparency within the company. The ENTIRE leadership team is so exclusive unless you are within their ranks. They hired a new person in charge of growth .. what a joke. The HR department has no clue what they are doing and the CEO is absolutely clueless. Do NOT accept a position here if you want your career to flourish. It will only scar your resume.

Always a fun place to come into, your co-workers are like friends and family.

Plenty of work to get done and plenty of new opportunities to pursue.  You are constantly growing in knowledge, there is no shortage of opportunities and advancement.  Management is accessible, provide clear direction and are supportive.

You supply your own office utensils, owners speak down on you, never get paid on time, they don't care at all about any emergencies. Worst thing about this company is the way techy turn their employees against one another, they only want to see everyone doing horrible at their job so thy have a reason to the disrespect and degrade you as an employee. The vendors they work with, they try and defraud every cent they

Since the new management took over after the bankruptcy last year, the company failed to develop anything and continues to lose customers at an alarming rate. Corporate culture is toxic and because there is a high turn over, don't expect to meet a subject matter expert on anything. There is no HR and no formal training so avoid this company at all costs.
