Booking.com reviews

- hr are telling that you can't be fired just like that, that first you have to have bad scores on qpr, development plan etc. well that's not true. they firing people just before the christmas (it happens every year) without any warning nor explanation - management is really, really bad. they're don't have any people skills, management skills etc. they just know the right people or they're in the company for a long time - management is just a clique, if you're not with them- you're against them - managers play favorites -team leads in the office have very low experience, they got the 'SAM' job because they're very mold and will just follow ridiculous orders. - low salary, and it won't change - the values of the company are only to bring people down. when your manager is asking you a question- he's 'challenging you', when you're asking a question to your manager- it's not a challeange anymore. you're insubordinate. - the work environment is unhealthy - lack of opportunities if you want to grow with the company - don't even think on moving up in the company if you are not sucking up your Team Lead or Manager, or if you think different, or if you are not "popular" forget it! - you can't be yourself.

If you are coming from a flexible tech companies prepare to hate this place in a few months. It used a great place to work but all the management is changed and now it a full of non techies running the show. Expect things like super strict work timings, 8 hours excluding lunch hours. Working from home is a luxury only available when your house is on fire or be prepared to be scrutinized. They don’t believe in people doing their best work at different hours. Very tight on these as of end of year 2017 and made it super hard to work. You will find many of your colleagues complaining and planning to leaving soon. mostly micro management from middle management is driving this place to the ground. Soon this is turning from tech company to an online sales front. There are no such thing as perks for working here. The bonus is heavily dependent on you reviews and this is controlled by the manager in your team, so guess how that goes if you step on the wrong toe or stand for your rights! Not even lunch is free, it’s from your salary! The tech stack is not something I want to get into, read other reviews. The pay isn’t competitive in any way with companies of the same scale. Tax is huge if you don’t get 30percent ruling. Even then there are taxes on house you rent and many others not mentioned anywhere. It’s upwards of 150EUR each bill you get from your first pay check. You DONT get insurance from Booking.com so expect to pay minimum 100 EURO per person in your family. This price increases exponentially with benefits you add like dental, maternity etc. Also expect at least 350 EUR needs to be covered by you every year even if you have insurance on your medical bill.
