Pros

1. You can learn as much as you want . You can get access to knowledge easily. 2. Cool parties 3.traveling around the world 4.it's super easy to meet your target, because the whole business is going up 5.nice lunch

Cons

1. Very poor management skill, especially the middle manager like team leaders , small managers. Booking is growing crazy fast , they can't make sure all middle manager are qualified. A lot of conflicts going on in Amsterdam. 2. A lot of lazy Dutch employees , they can get promoted easily . Because they smoke together with the Dutch managers. 3. Qualification of the employees is flat, not outstanding. Because booking was not the world class company. They have been hiring more and more clever people now. But in general , it's not as good as the other big company. 4. IT team sucks. Use perl, nobody understands what's going on anymore. No innovation mind set. I guess after a couple year working at booking as Dev, I guess you are not competitive anymore on market. Because you learn nothing from booking , if you are a Dev. 5.in general salary is not high at all.
