I'm happy to work here - (Senior) Data Scientist Booking.com Employee Review

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.
