Pros

+ Great coworkers- lifetime friendships in some cases + Travel Opportunities + Good place to start a career- but it will likely be a place you move on from in 2 years especially if you are in a large metro area (Chicago, SF, Seattle, Toronto, Vancouver etc).

Cons

The most reviews from early Feb and late January were either written directly from someone in HR or someone still coming off the high of BAM. Fun fact, both were supposedly written by employees in Bellevue/Seattle which is also home to Americas HR leadership. "Keep doing what you're doing. We're winning with customers and we're winning with employees." "Awesome culture - empowering, autonomous, caring. Management cares, and I feel valued. Compensation + everyone qualifies for bonus. The only reason you don't get bonus is if you're significantly under performing. This is a strong growth company that puts people first." If you are in a sales/account management role be prepared to move in order to grow your career . If you are in a HR/Recruiting role you will have zero growth opportunities within the Americas region. If you're in one of these capacities and either have a family or are thinking about starting one please note this will in fact be detrimental to your path at B.com. If you don't believe me check out how many people have left the company in the past 3 years. Lastly- heading to AMS for the annual meeting is a privilege. A very pricey privilege. If you want to know why your annual comp is lower than other OTAs take a look at BAM = that's where your comp is going.
