Booking.com Reviews

Pros

Strong cultural values Friendly people Large-scaled corporation

Cons

A bit slow at times Uses a lot of old technology and code e.g. Pearl Their perf. process is also very outdated - there is no such thing as peer reviews. Only manager to direct report and upward feedback

Pros

- Nice Office - Good HR

Cons

- Seems to be a lot of problems with management - Some odd personalities about - Think they are better than they are. A long way from being one of the big tech companies.

Pros

Free Snacks, parties, opportunities to try different working areas, Booking Annual Meeting in Amsterdam, free access to multiple online and presential courses

Cons

People management is too generic, no opportunities for promotions, really hard to receive a raise, Unstable environment (they can say you're doing amazing and get you fired next day)

Pros

- Booking.com is very diverse. I loved working with people from dozens of nationalities. - The on-site lunches were nice, but the food got monotonous after a few months. - If you're looking for a European visa, you might consider working at Booking.com, until you find a better job.

Cons

- Individualism is discouraged, despite lipservice to the contrary - Quality is a four-letter word - Nobody is permitted to take real ownership--everything you create is considered "public property", and may be disrespected or discarded accordingly - The company is making too much money for its own good. It therefore has no requirement to make good hiring decisions (focuses on numbers of employees rather than quality of employees), vetting ideas, etc. - I markedly and severely became a worse programmer after a year at Booking.com.

Pros

Supportive management Plenty of ongoing training Autonomous role from an early stage Top business model and customer friendly service User friendly online platform coworkers and management always available and open to talking

Cons

Not many really, small bit more time could be spent on training the fundamentals of CRM usage and general management expectations and objectives

Pros

I think what I prefer in Booking.com is the multicultural atmosphere! People are humble, positive and open-minded. + There are great opportunities worldwide!

Cons

The average salary is quite low compared to the average salary (same area same market) and unfortunately there only few benefits / compensations (again compared to other companies, same size same area).
