The survival of the 'talk sweet to your boss'

Pros

One of the most advanced and growing travel tech companies in the world. International working environment; get to meet and work with people from all over the world. Perks of traveling once a year to Amsterdam. Free lunches. Easy company to work for; you dont have to be smart. A lot of people just get comfortable and stay for very very long time.

Cons

-Unqualified people get promoted (with 0 ZERO Achievements). -Unclear career progression scheme for people; some get sudden promotion when the product that he/she was working for failed badly in the market. -Too many summit and travels for those unqualified people. -POLITICS; lots and lots of people got promoted / special 'assignment' because he / she happens to know the BOSSes or capable to sweet talk the manager. - Less than smart people on the management level; even director level. -Ineligible people got relocated to other countries like Singapore / New York; when the people actually have no QUALITIES; just capable of sweet talking the management.

Pros

Great Company Culture Work Hard, Party Harder Opportunity to visit the HQ in Amsterdam for the annual party Lots of opportunities to develop through soft skills training

Cons

Great talents abound so you might find yourself getting stuck in a role for quite some time and find limited avenues to grow. Hard to find a company as awesome as Booking.com once you leave.
