Pros

Lots of training, free food, bonuses, trips to Amsterdam for those interested, free "swag", culture. Never a dull moment. Keeps you on your toes. Great for entry customer service gaining skills.

Cons

Long and tiring hours, very little down time or personal time, favoritism by management, unhappy agents, unhappy customers...LOTS of complaints from people all around the world. Its all on your shoulders. Promotions are near impossible if you're not a kiss up even if you have consistently shown to be a great employee with high numbers and drive to advance. If youre not a social butterfly, say goodbye to ever going anywhere in this company and getting no help. Booking.com doesnt feel like a long term place to work. I was there 3 years nearly and had 4 interviews to advance to another position and was constantly turned down. I left because I was tired of the rat race.

Pros

Open-minded, humble, passionate workplace. The atmosphere is always positive and the company lives by its strong set of core values. On top of great leadership and challenging work, you get to work in awesome offices and enjoy a restaurant-quality lunch with breathtaking views of Amsterdam.

Cons

Growth in this company is incredibly fast, scaling is sometimes a challenge.

Pros

Good career advancement opportunities and a great training ground for millennials. The year end party in Amsterdam is a blast and Darren is an amazing leader.

Cons

HR is a hot mess. Disorganized, confused and does not care about the employees. They can't even remember the names of the people they support and treat their employees like they are just another "butt in seat". Particularly in the US. The company is growing too fast to hire the right people in may roles and are losing good people in return.
