Pros

I chose Booking because of the kind of work I would be doing, the people that interviewed me which would be the my working colleagues, and because of all the booking.com experience described in the material I received. Everything is going the way it was described. Other than that, in Booking.com you are valuable. I had a short start and then felt sick, serious disease, and since then I had ups and downs, and my management at Booking gave me every opportunity to recover, to work on things I was able to due to my condition and so on. I am still under recovery, and the company still values me at most, providing me help and support beyond expectations.

Cons

I can't name a "con" at this moment. Even the "con" for me which is the fact that all offices is on the city center which is hard to reach by car, for most of my colleagues this is a "Pro" because of the multitute of public transportation modals they can use.

Pros

- you'll never work with such talented people - pay to effort ratio is amazing for tech (not so much outside tech) - if you like cleaning up: the tech.- and org. debt are unmatched

Cons

- culture of 'who can be the most humble' personality cult - old-fashioned, industrial management, dressed as 'autonomy', coupled with weak business- (not customer) centric product management. - reorgs upon reorgs, driving out team players and giving opportunities to the selfish.

Pros

Great benefits, amazing offices, learning opportunities in different offices, cool swag, lots of healthy snacks in offices and more!

Cons

Booking North America does not live the culture as it is in Europe. Offices have favoritism 100%, if you don’t kiss on people the moment you arrive with the area manager or your manager you won’t grow anywhere. Friendship gets in between the jobs and people don’t get what they want cause they deserve it, more so because they knew who to connect with to make it there. If you complain with HR regarding these serious issues, nothing will happen because again, favoritism takes place. In other words, Booking NA is pretty corrupted. If you say the truth of what is happening, trust me you will be hated and they’ll do anything possible so you quit.
