Booking.com reviews

- Top-Mid level management decision-making could be very dynamic and chaotic at times.

- The company grew enormously throughout the years and - in some ways - tends to still think like a lean start-up, while being a large corporation at this point. This causes some difficulty in understanding the direction and goals that each team has. - Silo-mentality: there are often unrelated teams that work on the same improvements, without alignment or communication (often parallel improvement initiative are set up, but are not visible, so there is quite a lot of duplication of effort/waste). - Certain departments don't have any in house Product resources (read: IT and Engineering support), despite being asked to improve global processes, and it is very difficult to get the right support from Product people. - There is not (yet) a strong culture of project management and projects are often delayed for long time or killed after years of work, because of a change in strategy or priorities.
