      No longer a startup, not yet a FAANG.

      Pros

      - Very chill place to work — work-life balance is achievable. - Strong AB-testing/experimentation culture. - Relatively light on process — lots of flexibility. - Enthusiastic official support for diversity/inclusion and employee wellbeing.

      Cons

      - Slow rate of technical and policy change, due to a large amount of legacy code/technical debt and a people-pleasing/risk-averse/"no blame" culture. - The company started out highly agile/chaotic, but has been slowly (and not without friction) becoming process-oriented over the last few years. - The over-reliance on expat workers who don't know their rights has led to some sloppy HR practices. But this has been getting better.

      Pros

      Salary is somewhat higher than at the majority of Amsterdam-based companies.

      Cons

      Booking used to be a fairly comfortable place to work. Unfortunately it has deteriorated into a politicians' playground, which most of the competent workers and managers preferred to leave, some at a financial loss. New CEO replaced Dutch top managers with his American buddies, turning the company into a typical US-style corporation. If that wasn't bad enough, the expectation of impending layoffs, cancelled promotions, and the virtual impossibility to change teams finished off workers' morale. It's no surprise that Booking keeps hemorrhaging talent at an accelerating pace. If you think of joining Booking right now, think twice. You'll end up working with crazy management and systems that are falling apart with no one in sight to help.
