Pros

There is a good culture strongly promoted at Booking.com. Pay was a little below market average but this was addressed and it is now above. Big company means opportunities to move teams and grow.

Cons

The downside of any large company is the inevitable bureaucracy that comes with that. Promotions process is more rigorous than applying for the same job externally, etc. People can be moved teams without consultation sometimes. Inevitably it's a business and unpopular decisions are occasionally made based on balance sheets
