Pros

It's a great environment! Fast moving, you can be yourself, hard working but feel satisfied at the end of each day., Opportunity that is not based on years experience but on results you produce and how effective you are. Really a unique culture!

Cons

It's so fast moving some people can get lost in it and it may not be the right place for them.

Pros

- 40 hour work week, really means 40 hour work week. - International work environment

Cons

- Don't let the "free fruits", "free lunches" and "happy hour fridays" "trip to Amsterdam" fool you, this company loves to feel like their giving you so much, giving random "Booking.com" branded pens, hats, bags, USB's...all random and really useless material things. This company should just focus on at least meeting the market rate in terms of salary. Don't get a below market salary and then try to "make up for it" but giving us random junk. - Brainwashing of the brand and culture, you're either in or not. - I get that this is an online brand and things are always changing, but quit changing "standard procedures" every other month. How do you expect to "keep a standard" if you keep changing it. Literally, always get an e-mail saying "we change how we do this, we do it like this now" - This company prides itself in providing "higher trainings" but then they say their "too busy" "peak period" and then cancel all trainings. - Poor training, given very basic foundation training and left fending for ourselves.

Smoke and mirrors

Pros

Good healthcare benefits, flexibility, nice people, interesting business

Cons

Egos abound in this company. If it weren't so uncomfortable it would be amusing. It's all smoke and mirrors folks. If you drink the Kool-aid you'll be okay for a while, until you realize that what you are being told could not be further from the truth. You WON'T get promoted unless you are friends with the right people. You will NEVER earn as much as you would at another OTA. Keep your head down, your mouth shut and find another job ASAP. It's nice to have free lunch once a month and bar hop on the company but what does that do for your quality of life?
