      Good employer for the most part

      Product manager

      Business Outlook

      Pros

      Booking is a good employer with several outstanding benefits including paid parental leave, paid bereavement and a life insurance of sorts. They pay well and are generous with bonuses and stock benefits. Inclusion is top priority and they have done a lot of work to try and make sure people don't burn out.

      Cons

      There are still people managers that make people burn out and that have no business being a people manager in the first place. Sometimes it seems that being good at your craft will make you a good manager but that is not the case.

      Getting better!

      Design manager

      Pros

      New Amsterdam and Manchester offices are awesome. The Amsterdam office especially has amazing views and great food (three restaurants with different menus!). Lots of seating options to suit your tastes, from open plan to quiet cubicles and even private offices, all bookable via our hot-desking system. Good pay for The Netherlands (doesn't compare to Silicon Valley but is VERY good for the country). Hybrid work environment. You can basically choose to work from home or the office (or mix it up). Managers can only require office attendance for a very small number of days per year. If you work from home the company will provide a desk, chair and external monitor and other peripherals. Lots of other perks (bike scheme, insurance support, annual shares, bonus) Work life balance is second to none. There is no expectation to work long hours or weekends. Your boss will not contact you outside of office hours unless it's for a real emergency. Craft reporting. If you are a designer you will report to a designer who was at LEAST senior level before becoming a manager. Same for writers and researchers. Diversity. Booking really embraces diversity, we have a large number of ERG's from various communities and the company takes them seriously, funds their activities and supports their initiatives.

      Cons

      We're big and slow... don't come here expecting to change the world overnight. Career development is challenging. On the one hand we have lots of internal trainings, access to lots of resources, mentor programmes, budget for conferences etc but on the other hand, our promotions process is clunky and very dependent on you driving your own destiny. The requirement to "prove you can do the job BEFORE you get the promotion" can make it difficult to move up unless you have a lot of energy and initiative. This isn't the kind of company that will "push you up the ladder". You have to find your own way and make your own opportunities. Some roles are also dependant on business need so your career growth can be slowed by the business.

      Pros

      Friendly and inclusive working environment. Always empowered to make changes and impacts. Nice and modern campus. Great free lunch from the canteen.

      Cons

      The first 6 months maybe quite overwhelming because there are so many new things to learn and catch up. But it is a great experience anyway.
