Pros

Work here now for 6,5 years and love this place more every year. Especially now we moved in the Campus, downtown Amsterdam, this has got to be one of the best places to work in NL. Great benefits, amazing culture and excellent development opportunities

Cons

The unclarity on hybrid ways of working was taking too long but this is now solved for, expecting to come in at least 2 days a week into the office

Pros

Biggest asset of the company is the people you work with. They are smart, outcome driven yet empathic. I've only met handful people here with whom I'm less than thrilled to work with (and that in 5 years time). This positive work environment is supported & maintained by the company culture: Succeeding together is just important as the right results in the right way. These aren't just empty words written somewhere on a wall, these (and other) values are lived throughout the company. The mission is engaging ("Make it easier for everyone to experience the world") and the resulting business problems are interesting to solve, it's something I can identify with easily. It's a place where I learned a lot and continue to learn a lot. The pay is competitive and so are the benefits (25% employee discount 🎉)

Cons

As in every company there are challenges we face. The technical infrastructure isn't as good as it could be. We're often slowed down by legacy issues that are only slowly resolved (the company is on the way and will be for more years to come to solve this). The data community isn't quite as close as it used to be 4-5 years ago. The reorganisation that introduced business units, which was necessary from an organisational standpoint, was a big strain on the community. Add the Corona pandemic and we have a much weaker community. It's slowly finding its way back and I hope that all being under one roof in the new Amsterdam campus will facilitate that. Every now and then Booking.com goes through a growth spurt and hires a lot of people for specific roles/expertise (recently payments/finance). In these business areas the culture isn't as strong as in well established business areas.
