Pros

Good colleagues Annual trip to Amsterdam If hired as an Account Manager you can develop outside sales skills you can then take to another company

Cons

Below average compensation. Expedia pays higher for same positions The company invests zero dollars in new technology for their employees and their hotel partners (there is a pathetic internal CRM that is inefficient & accomodation partners have NO way to manage their account via a mobile device) 30 minute lunches Quarterly bonuses that are microscopic No room for growth. Unless you work at HQ in Amsterdam, you will hit a ceiling at Account Manager Extremely poor communication of goals from management downwards. As an Account Manager you can expect un-clear goals that change mid quarter and, when they do, your direct manager will let the team take all the heat for missing targets The company is consolidating departments and "trimming fat." This is great for the board of directors of PCLN and any other employee who was hired years ago when PCLN stock options were given but awful for the morale and overall vibe in all US offices

Pros

Great opportunity for career advancement, travel and networking. Start-up culture creates a relaxed and fun environment. Most all of your coworkers will end up being your close friends. If you are interested in relocating to virtually anywhere in the globe then this is the place to be. Compensation is adequate and ensures a quality lifestyle. Although a majority of the Hospitality industry is a 24/7 mentality, work/life balance is healthy. Annual event in Amsterdam is a terrific networking opportunity and also a crazy fun time.

Cons

Young company experiencing growing pains in various aspects of the business. This is a first 'office job' for many people in this company. The business acumen of some employees is a product of this.
