      Frontend roles don't have much growth

      Pros

      Booking has an excellent international work culture. You get to work from folks from around the world, and that is itself a learning experience. The work-life balance is excellent and their recent policy change for 22-weeks paternal leave is super awesome. Sprint plannings ensure that you're not overloaded, and you can always find time for family and your personal life. Teams work in small sizes so you get to interact with all the stakeholders so that's a very positive side. When you join, their relocation team ensures that your experience is seamless. They put the stress out of concern when you think you're moving to a new country. And don't forget the compensation: it's best in the market! I mean, I've interviewed with FAANG companies and only a very few of them have been able to match my compensation.

      Cons

      Moving up the ladder within company, unless you're a fullstack dev, is difficult. There's barely any innovation, or scope for it, unless you work for a core team that develops one of the inhouse frameworks. After a while, the boredom gets you. With each passing year, you understand how detrimental all of it is for your career. You can learn new tech, but on your own, because most of the times, it won't align with team requirements. Again, unless something falls within the policy, it ain't gonna happen. Policy runs everything here, from people to process.

      Pros

      - You can find team and product to work based on your needs. From super challenging fast paced environments to slow paced teams with mature product. - Great work life balance - Ability to make an impact on company level - Great developers community - A lot of product ownership, not only developers work

      Cons

      - In some teams tech stack is outdated and it will take couple more years to migrate everything - A bit hard to progress in career, sometimes it is easier to apply internally to higher position compared to promotion
