Current Employee – been working at Booking.com

Pros – constantly changing and challenging environment.Innovative ideas and work ethics. Very easy to share new ideas. Constant training and plenty of room for self-improvement.A great place to work!

Cons – Constant changes can become a reason to stress. One of the company's basic principle is scalability, when not all things are suitable for all parts of the world.Booking.com salaries are average, while expectations for employees are to the roof!

Advice to Senior Management – Booking.com really needs to pay attention to their hotel partners more, and not focus constantly on the customers. The danger of loosing the trust of the partners is something that all employees should have in their minds constantly. Also Booking.com needs to pay their employees better, in order to attract and maintain the best of the best in the market .

Pros – It is such a pleasure to work here; the people are nice, it really feels like you are being rewarded for the things that you do and it provides you a platform so that you can really show what your skills are. The colleagues are great, it is such an international environment to work in. The company language is English, so even if you just started working here it immediately feels like you are part of the team. We are headquartered in Amsterdam situated beautifully in de city center in Amsterdam. Surrounded with shops, the canal ring and of course some nice bars. So that even after work you have a great time.

Cons – At the moment no cons found.

Current Employee – been working at Booking.com full-time for more than 7 years

Pros – Possibility to make business decisions on a relatively low level - good ideas get picked up relatively quickly. The impact of your work for end customers is very visible, this gives me the feeling I can really contribute.
The atmosphere is open and the organization is flat, you can ask anyone anything and people want to help you. Data driven decision really helps here.
Nice people to work with.

Cons – It is not always clear what is expected from you: you are responsible yourself to decide one what you need to do to make your efforts successful.
The focus is very clearly on the customer and you are judged on the return on investment of your time spent - there is little room for messing around for a bit (even if on the long term this might be beneficial).
