Booking.com reviews

When I left the company, most of the leaders had left the company as well. At that time, the company lost its focus. The management started to add layers and layers of bureaucracy but still called it a "flat structure." At the time, there were Team Leaders, Über Team Leaders and Senior Team Leaders, making it clear that a hierarchy did exist. Most of these weren't able to manage people (even though many of them were great developers) what led to a great frustration. I've seen plenty of team leaders step down because they weren't valued, even if they gave everything they had to help the company. In the other hand, many yes-saying people just moved to the top of the food-chain.

No loyalty from company. When required to venture into new country markets, will package a good remuneration deal to lure you in. After 1 or 2 years into the job, management will hire cheaper locals who know nothing about company culture or product. Just because new inexperienced locals are cheap. And void your contract the next year. Or kill your morale by removing sick leave. No maternity leave for females. No advancement opportunities because your local manager is earning even lower than you! Company is not concerned that you exceed your targets, they just want to save on manpower costs.
