Pros

Great atmosphere, amazing office, multitude of events

Cons

Low salary, too many meetings

Booking.com Response

Hi thanks for your review and rating. Picking up on the salary point, this is clearly an area where we always want to improve and everyone wants more. However, we do benchmark ourselves in engineering twice a year, and are very focussed on making the right investments in package so we stay competitive. Will we ever give everyone exactly what they feel they want, probably not but we do think we can offer a competitive salary, a great range of benefits, a place to learn and develop AND be a great place to work which is a great combination. Thanks again Ryan
