Pros

You may have the change to change your employement status from Full time to Part time or viceversa and you can choose ( based on business needs ) the shift patterns. there are many other better companies Salary is enough, but not great. they organize nice parties and freaky friday, giving you free entrance and free drinks until 00.00.

Cons

1- the company is changing so much, so the whole idea of a relaxed environment is gone. 2- is becoming the Ryanair in their industry, I know that as I was working for Ryanair too. 3 - the whole concept of Values ecc is basically gone. 4 - the new working agreement has been modified without agreement with Works Council and many part time colleagues had problems to obtain their preference for schedules 5 - the managment is doing nothing to improve but only to ruin the atmosphere in the company, creating more pressure for Customer Service Agents and Teal Leaders. 6 - The company is huge, but the chances to have career opportunities are close to the 0. I had change and all the requirements to be a Team Leader, but the HR department advise me to withdrawl my request to be a Team Leader as I was hopeless and I was ( they said literally ) losing my time. 7 - many problems for vacation requests. Basically, the work load is divided in languages, but either you're from a small country with few workers on the line, or an agent from a main language, your chances to have holidays are low. Summer : Forget about it, you should book in September of the year before. Christmas and NYE you have to choose really in advance and is not granted, and you cannot have both period together. 8 - the company is squeezing the employees as lemons for the peak season. The company is only customer oriented, so whatever you received from an angry customer you should take it. 9 - kpi's becoming harder and harder to reach - with consequent pressure on employees and Team Leader 10 - Food is lamentable, considering that, despite for what management said, we actually pay for it. I also found a fly in my dish once. 11 - the company is creating external partner providers which create a drop in the quality of responses for both Booking.com and the customers. 12 - benefits are low, only the Genius status, which is a 10 % discount on booking through Booking.com, but is not even accepted by all Hotels and properties. 13 - they're firing people and not renewing fixed contracts basically giving 0 security. 14 - they're creating new rules and procedures which are causing delays and less quality. 15 - they ask for feedback but when you provide a feedback nobody cares.

Pros

- Good perks, though the company's getting much stingy recently, for example fruits disappear around 1630 in the afternoon - Some good people who really care about their colleagues, who I look up to from the bottom of my heart - One of the company that provides better compensation for core/mid-level devs in Amsterdam - Strong diversity within the tech department

Cons

- You need to be physically in the office from 10 to 17, your manager will lash out on you in your face if you don't. Of course WFH is not permitted by the company (though some managers still allow it). Even taking sick leave is stressful, because your manager will "discuss" your health situation the day after your absence, and claim it's not that serious enough to affect your daily work then threaten to give you bad review scores. - Toxic company culture, management bullying and retaliation is pretty common in the work place due to broken performance review process, where only the decision of your direct manager counts. So you'd better listen to them and do anything they want you to do, or you'll get screwed over your scores. - Promotions ultimately depend on your personal relationship of your direct manager and track manager. - Burnout is quite common in the company, yet management doesn't consider it a mental health issue so people continue to suffer from it. - The lack of proper manager trainings and good promotion reviews cause almost if not all the people problems in the company. Yet HR/People department and even C-level management doesn't care about this at all. - Tech innovations and best practices are not valued within the company. C-level management even states that "we are not a tech company" publicly in all-hands events.
