      Going downhill

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Relocation benefits High pay for Netherlands Good job life balance depending on which team you’re on

      Cons

      Management is incompetent from the CEO to senior leadership & there is a lack of urgency in dealing with product issues and customer support. Outdated tech stack with lots of legacy code and there is a lack of innovation because LT are focused on just keeping things barely running. Frequent layoffs of entire teams for “efficiency” which are never ending.

      Great place to grow your career with smart, supportive people

      Pros

      I’ve been at Booking.com for a while now and genuinely enjoy working here. The culture is open, international and down-to-earth, and I feel trusted to do meaningful work rather than just tick boxes. My team is supportive, my manager actually listens, and there are plenty of opportunities to learn, move roles and grow your career. It’s a fast-paced environment with lots of change, but if you like collaborating with smart people and having impact, it’s a great place to be.

      Cons

      Sometimes the pace of change and internal processes can feel overwhelming, so clearer communication and simpler decision-making would make things even better.
