Company on the decline

Pros

- Most people are quite friendly and care about quality of work - Lots of resources for professional development, especially the "soft skills" areas - Good pay for NL - Quite cool how international the team is

Cons

- It's shocking how teams don't know what one another are doing and each use their own tools and software they build themselves - The tools they use for marketing tech are not at all industry standard and very buggy - About to do massive layoffs and reorg purely to make more money. Still hiring people that will be laid off in just a few months without warning them... - The company is huge and management is nowhere to be seen and when they do a Q&A it's so corporate sounding it's a bit maddening - Not sure if this is good or bad, but I was really surprised after joining how long most people have been at the company, many for their entire career. The downside of this is that a lot of people have no idea that there are better ways to do things and resistance to change.

Pros

- highly skilled colleagues; - learning opportunities; - friendly environment; - fancy office; - hybrid way of working; - good benefits; - great relocation support.

Cons

- Many of the tools and processes used at Booking are completely different from other companies. Therefore, a lot of knowledge gained at Booking can't be used elsewhere. And vice versa. - Many processes at Booking are not established. Perhaps because of the rapid growth. - Following the value of “being a protagonist” means you can't focus on the technical details of a task, even if that's your direct responsibility. You also have to do the job of a manager. Some people like it, some technical people don't.
