      Pros

      Great to work at the HQ in Amsterdam - amazing office, really international, lots of opportunity. Awesome parties, team outings (private boat rides, private restaurants, events etc.) Great product, lots of momentum. Very profitable company that is growing. Very good networking opportunities (loads of contractors, consultants as well as 10k employees)

      Cons

      Pay is below industry average. Bonus is considered to be compensation for overtime, which you may be expected to do in certain roles. Some core cliques that have been around long enough have too much power. Beware the political game

      Pros

      Quite a few talented individuals. Unfortunately, some of them have been blinded by (or promoted) the restrictive technology stack. Some people might enjoy the work-life balance.

      Cons

      Inexperienced management driven by fear, not by idea sharing and a desire to improve. The only ones who have survived are the ones who lowered their heads into the ground and keep their mouths shut to anything the CIO said. Managers only have time for their petty squabble and political power play, overlooking the pressing issues of their employees. Inconsistency and lack of transparency in decision making. The constant secrecy about direction, future projects, promotions, salaries, bonuses. Low salaries for the kind of work we're asking for. Cheap and bureaucratic about every single thing. You can't get a sticker without some big manager having to approving it. Technology is from 10 years ago and the technology "leadership" likes to keep it that way. Any project outside of "perl city" is shut down (literally) unless you're one of the few "special people", lone wolves who are allowed to choose any technology they want.

      Pros

      Being an Account Manager in San Francisco is AWESOME. The people I work with every day motivate me more than I ever thought I could be motivated in an office setting. Coming from a huge tech company prior, I assumed real teamwork sort of goes out the window when you work for such an internet giant. Booking.com proved me wrong. This is a true team here, everyone genuinely wants each other to succeed. My colleagues take time out of their day to help with everything under the sun literally every day. We provide a great product to both hotels and to guests that I stand behind and NEVER have to question. Oh yeah, did I mention Travel…? We travel to beautiful destinations in California to visit our hotel partners and strengthen the mutual partnership regularly. The learning is endless here, we are encouraged to attend trainings at different offices to better our professional and personal development as individuals. It will sound cheesy when I say this, but I wear my Booking.com backpack every day to and from work with pride. It should also be noted that our snacks are both delicious and healthy.

      Cons

      Lengthy ramp-up. I have been here about 5 months and am just finally starting to get the hang of the technology and tools we utilize.
