Pros

Good work life balance Decent pay Relatively easy work

Cons

I wouldn’t recommend Priceline if you’re either: 1) Someone focused on leveling up and becoming a better engineer via learning modern practices. Despite the scale the company operates at, you won’t grow here. Hacky and bad code is more than acceptable here as long as it gets the job done. 2) Someone who values collaboration and a supportive culture. Soft skills are not valued at Priceline, you’ll see engineers get promoted who are relatively good at what they do but have zero soft skills and as such make terrible people to work with. Management is well aware of these deficiencies and yet does nothing to improve these people or promote better people. Its also hard to get help from teammates if you are struggling, there’s a strong lone wolf culture. If you’re a decent engineer and are looking for a 9-5 where you won’t be bothered too much Priceline is fine, just don’t go there to be inspired by your coworkers, the culture or the mission.

We are thankful for feedback even when it is not positive. I would respectfully disagree with your perception that we are an organization that is a good fit for the kind of employee who is looking to coast. We do strive for good work/life balance, so it’s hard to see “9-to-5” as a net negative. We review based on merit and performance, and “soft skills” are very important here. You did not come away inspired by your time here, and while that isn’t easy to read, it’s also true that not every organization will be right for every employee. Thank you for the time you spent here and I hope you find your next role to be a better fit.

Pros

Overall has competitive benefits, vacation and acknowledgement of holidays. Company tries to define its culture.

Cons

Just like its difficulty in finding its marketing brand again, certain department management are having difficulty in finding its measure of success. Manager level receive much of the growing pains when some departments are using fisher price software systems and 10 plus year old technologies to find answers and solutions that upper management needed yesterday.
