Pros
Being an Account Manager in San Francisco is AWESOME. The people I work with every day motivate me more than I ever thought I could be motivated in an office setting. Coming from a huge tech company prior, I assumed real teamwork sort of goes out the window when you work for such an internet giant. Booking.com proved me wrong. This is a true team here, everyone genuinely wants each other to succeed. My colleagues take time out of their day to help with everything under the sun literally every day. We provide a great product to both hotels and to guests that I stand behind and NEVER have to question. Oh yeah, did I mention Travel…? We travel to beautiful destinations in California to visit our hotel partners and strengthen the mutual partnership regularly. The learning is endless here, we are encouraged to attend trainings at different offices to better our professional and personal development as individuals. It will sound cheesy when I say this, but I wear my Booking.com backpack every day to and from work with pride. It should also be noted that our snacks are both delicious and healthy.
Cons
Lengthy ramp-up. I have been here about 5 months and am just finally starting to get the hang of the technology and tools we utilize.
