Nice country, friendly local, cheap living cost, easy to get in.
Cons
Extremely bad management, no one want to do their jobs until you give them some $, corupted in everywhere like paying schedule,upgrade.etc... hard to leave they required 4 months in advance to give you release letter or u need to give HR 3000$ to get it. Mantainance is like a joke, high position pilot like chief pilot, safety manager will get good aircraft only, the aircraft for you will have bunch of mel to deal with. They push you to limit to fly with 4 5 days minimum rest is normal , ur schedule being added suddenly with illygal way without inform to you. If u doing well ur jobs, no bonuses, no increase salary, nothing, but once u made mistake they will punish you with grounded+simulator+paying undertable . Even divert with technical reason first thing they do is grounded you first without asking any reason why, dont care that you are right or wrong/ for safety reason or not. Dont think about upgrade in here until you willing to give away 80k$ or otherwise u will keep failing your upgrade doesnt matter how good is yours performance. They will never listen to your advice specialy chief pilot and department manager.
Advice to management
Change blood of the company
Advice to future employees
Dont come here if u have no option left. Dont try to reach 1000 hours in 365 days or they will find yours mistake and grounded you to cut off payment.
Circus
2.0Captain - Former employeeRecommended to other Pilots Positive business outlookApproval of managementPros
Relatively new fleet and proper maintenance.
Cons
Training department it’s no more than a cheap circus, just for a starter it’s chief pilot dubious flight experience when he joined as FO is a good starter plus the safety department disregard of many issues when it was more needed, upgrading or becoming an instructor it has nothing to do about seniority but about how much money you are willing to put on and under the table.
Advice to management
Nothing.
Advice to future employees
Do not go unless you want to be used and abused.

Positive business outlookApproval of managementPros
The country is beautiful and cheap
Cons
A lot of corruption and disrespect, punishment culture, lack of support, always flying up to the limit, long duties, schedule changes, no benefits, no salary raises, no bonuses, salary delays, no temporary resident card and no support for family, no more 6x2 rotation only 3x1, ticket benefits were changed to points (20 points in 6 months, points are discounted depending on the flight time, the farther the destination more points are discounted)
Advice to management
They don’t want to hear any advice
Advice to future employees
Only apply if you’re desperate for a job
The last resort

The cost of living in Vietnam
Cons
Constant fatigue. Out of control local management. The only airline left in Vietnam making money. Narcissistic CEO.
Advice to management
Be proactive enough to hire enough people to cover the roster. The CEO needs to stay outbif FCD and not try to be a part of something he knows nothing about.
Advice to future employees
Many good opportunities around the world besides Vietjet
No benefit, No support

Tax free salary, easy training
Cons
CORRUPTION, Low basic salary, no benefit, no support, bad commuting. Salary sometime delay
Advice to management
Be more supportive and friendly. Remember pilots are doing their job to support the company, they should have something in return
Advice to future employees
Better doing careful research before joining this airlines. Easy to join but difficult to leave. ONCE AGAIN, CORRUPTION is the most concern.

Tax free salary, easy to join, fast process to start flying, nice people, cheap country
Cons
No support for families visa, the process of getting work permit is difficult, buroecratic and lenghty, no benefits, no annual leave, commuting only 3x1, corruption, low basic salary.
Advice to management
Be more supportive and friendly,
Advice to future employees
Although it is easy and fast to join, if you wanna leave it's much more difficult as they require you to request it 4 months in advance, they require you to pay a compensation if you leave after a certain period of sim, they will only provide a letter of release and other documents 4 months later.
