Pros
Relaxed office environment, Potential for career progression in the Amsterdam head office Great systems and tools to get the work done Office is in a great location Perfect if you looking to learn about ecommerce Great opportunity to learn about other teams within Booking.com and increase your knowledge base Great culture and morals
Kontras
Booking.com is a corporate company that is pretending to still be an edgy start up. Micro managing has become a trend in the office Managers train their team on how to do their jobs when they dont get involved and do the job themselves (how can you train best practice when you dont get your hands dirty) Benefits have been cut back (Yearly meeting in Amsterdam cancelled and monthly social outing cut to £5 per person.) This would have been better received if senior leadership did not make false claims about the cuts. You can progress fast at Booking.com but you need to play the corporate game to do so The fact that Booking.com is the number 1 accommodation provider has got to some peoples head both internally and externally and there is no longer that play to be the best attitude It does feel like management and certain staff are trying to catch you out when you have done something that they dont agree with. In the annual company survey trust in leadership was terrible Lots of senior staff in head office go missing
