Hi, I am sorry that you feel the way that you describe. I hope that you raised these concerns with us before you left but if not I would be happy to discuss them in more detail if you contact me. We are working hard at the moment to develop our culture and in fact on the day you posted this review we launched our Values Festival, an event designed to gain feedback from colleagues and develop and articulate our organisational Values. Earlier this year we also held our first Management Training programme with more than 100 managers across the business. If there have been specific problems with individuals I'd be happy to help but I am confident this does not describe the normal situation. As with anything we can always get better and we are working hard on that. Thanks Ryan Cheyne - People Director

Pros

Booking has some very awesome people working for it. The office is located in the center of Amsterdam, which is awesome, and the company gives developers enough freedom to feel close to the customers.

Cons

Developers have always had a lot of freedom, and this has resulted in many years of technical debt. The infrastructure teams' jobs are essentially to pay this debt, and not much else. On top of that the salaries are not at all competitive. If you don't like Amsterdam: you're out of luck, this international company has more than a hundred offices, but won't let developers live outside the Amsterdam region.

Pros

Sense of importance and contribution to such a huge corporation; although Booking.com is a large company, I have already in my 4 months here met the CEO of Priceline, product owners, and other upper-level players in the company who visited the office and were eager to hear my and my colleagues feedback. I meet and work with people from all over the world. I travel to the Central Coast of California often. Office culture has been extremely welcoming, fun, and down to earth. There are a number of opportunities within Booking.com to grow my career both vertically and horizontally; I work in the Hotels Department, but work closely with all other departments. I feel valued as an employee. There is a lot of autonomy and responsibility; I feel I am growing professionally in a supportive atmosphere. It is essentially the hospitality industry, so all the people I work alongside are awesome and fun. Access to a lot of industry information; gaining knowledge. The best part of working here is feeling proud to represent the company I work for.

Cons

Ramp-up period is lengthy Must stay very organized
