Pros

- Investment in development. A lot of trainings for employees. - Opportunities to travel (business trips, annual meetings and trainings) - Diversity. Getting to meet people from around the world. - Transparency in company's values and goals. - Structure. Monthly 1-on-1, mid-year review, appraisals and yearly performance review.

Cons

- Compensation is quite low compared to other online travel agents. Quarterly bonus depends on the company's performance. - Some departments don't have good career advancement. People tend to be in the same positions for years. - Constant changes. Not a good place for someone who's not flexible. - Communication from upper management. - No real management standards. Different offices run things differently. - Management puts more emphasis on relationships rather than performance. - No actions ever taken for underperformers. - Local managers need to be more involved in the operation and see who's the show pony and who's the work horse.

I truly enjoy coming to work every day

Pros

Since I joined - 4 years ago, I have grown in every aspect. From my interactions with others, confidence in myself, experience with data, technology, IT, finance, customer service, people. You name it. Every week I think I already know everything there is to know about our systems, users, data. But every week, I am proven wrong. I work in a team where everyone is hard worker – we all push each other further and further. We have awesome team dynamics - we challenge each other, I can and do speak my mind and share what is on my mind. I am proud of what my team does. And finally, I truly enjoy working for Booking.com. I am passionate about it’s values, it’s culture, about what it stands for and what it does not stand for. I feel strong connection to our product and what we do. I look forward to get up and go to work every day.

Cons

Challenges of working for Booking.com are those of highly dynamic changing environment. You must be flexible and willing to work with the flowing world we face each day - there is no "truth" except for what customers wants. If you put too much value into being right, you will not be happy here. Everyone is wrong, until proven right with data.
