      Very successful eCommerce company where I managed to reach my potential

      Pros

      Very flat organizational structure. Multicultural environment of over 100 nationalities. Work hard play hard. If you do well for the company the company does very well for you. But a career and the rewards do not come for free you have to work hard for it.

      Cons

      Very strong culture that you either like or not. This may be a drawback for some, not for me but I've seen people struggle with this. Technically you have to accept that the business comes first and that getting new features and functionality out there quickly is always more important. Code quality is never a goal in itself. Most code will be used for a very short time anyway as everything is A/B testsed and most test fail. Deploying new technology because it shiny and new is not tolerated.

      Nice to work there for a bit but not a plae to build a technical career

      Pros

      There is a nice social atmosphere in the company but really beacuse of the colleagues, not the management. It is very internatioal with people from all over the world but most;y from Europe. Being in the center of Amsterdam is really nice too.

      Cons

      Senior management treated people like cattle and with no compassion although I am told that is changing. The technology used at bookings is outdated for development purposes and bookings seems to be one of the last group using it meaning the skill developed here are not very exportable.

      Opportunities and great colleagues

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      * Great colleagues * Very international * Freedom * Flat hierarchy * Easy to contact colleagues from any department - always willing to help * It's quite dynamic and change is expected all the time * Opportunities - company where it's possible to grow, move to different roles and different departments. It's up to the person to be proactive and take the initiative and move on the direction he/she wants. If you're good, you'll make it.

      Cons

      * In some teams, when people start in a position they are a bit on their own and trying to find out how they'll fit and what's expected from them. * In some cases, very specialized work - meaning that you are in a small team dedicated to a specific job and do not have access to other related things very easily. This is understandable due to the size of the company and its rapid growth. * This as result of the rapid growth, management change and lack of managers that work on developing people (in a lot of cases due to lack of time and some due to lack of experience). * Low salaries
