Pros

Easy going work atmosphere, CEO is approachable, work is easy enough (we're not splitting the atom here..), lots of travel and training opportunities, I personally love my office, boss and colleagues ('cept one or two..) :)

Cons

Pay is below what other OTAs would give, some people that reallllly shouldn't be promoted are promoted (it's all about politics!), limited experience amongst personnel

Pros

Lots of opportunity to take responsibility. So a good place for motivated self-powered people whose engines run on getting stuff done and taking ownership. Also the site has lots of traffic and users from all over the world, so you feel gratified because there is really the chance to impact a lot of people. Level and time in company don't matter much when it comes to proposing ideas / pushing for a project, logic and data prevail which is good (but also tough if you are passionate about something that may not make business sense). Also there are a good amount of smart colleagues with strong business sense, so good for personal growth.

Cons

The environment isn't for everyone. Colleagues are direct, so you need to be confident and able to take frequent feedback and learn from it. We've been growing fast, so if flowing with changes isn't your thing and you like staying in a static team and getting comfy in it for a while, it may be hard. There is also lots of learning on the job and not a lot of hand holding.

Pros

Booking.com is a fast paced and flat organization, there is little bureaucracy even though the company is fairly big now, we have an open floor plan. But mostly there is lots of opportunity for the company and employees to grow within it.

Cons

It can be chaotic at times, everything happens fast so you will have to be vigilant and flexible to go with the changes in the market and the company. That could actually also go in Pro, depends on what you like.
