Good Learning Curve - lowest salary you can get on the market

Pros

Great learning curve for young people as Booking hires what it says to be young potential... Nevertheless the work environment is a bit chaotic and you are constantly repeated you should take more in order to exceed beyond your position you end up with endless of projects, long working hours, bring work home, in weekends, etc.

Cons

Definitely management - they just circulate the same people in different departments and do not give opportunities to new comers. If you are not from their small group. Extremely political. Same is valid for salaries and bonuses.

Pros

Great culture, great atmosphere. A little disappointed with the new "we are listening" campaign/employee survey - the questionnaire did not give much room for adding own points of view or employee suggestions. Satisfaction guaranteed with job/colleagues - but shame to see people leave after a short time. Impressed with the new COO - great communicator and very approachable. Hope that his ideas & work ethos/ethic will filter into the rest of the business.

Cons

Length of service means little as far as annual pay increase goes. No language bonus package for multilingual staff either. We have one of the lowest salaries for call center agents in Manchester - irrespective of a "attractive" bonus structure. Attrition is atrocious - apart from free tea & coffee and a pension scheme - there are no more "perks" to keep the call center staff in the company.

Pros

It is serious but a fun place to work. Everyone pulls in same direction and gets job done. As a strongly growing business it has created opportunities to train and develop its staff. The business has a culture that sets it apart from many companies typified by it not having a dress code. Staff are serious but do not take themselves too seriously. Office environment is best I have ever worked in.

Cons

Until recently benefits were limited to Xmas party et al (although this was a very very good do). However this is now being addressed (e.g. pensions, free brews etc).
