      I worked at Booking.com full-time for more than a year

      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

      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).

      Pros

      First off the atmosphere and diversity is amazing. It’s an awesome company to work for. The pay is good and quarterly bonuses are a perk. They offer free food a lot and the canteen offers healthy food choices that B.com pays 50% of the price for. They offer Monster energy drinks in the canteen and free Starbucks coffee. The PTO is also very good.

      Cons

      None that I can think off.
