Cons

Culture between teams can be very different; work/life balance can be poor at times when things have to get done

Pros

First, the people! Supportive and engaging team culture - a true delight to come to work every day and collaborate across teams. I have never worked with such a diverse group of bright, funny people before. Second, the business culture! Decision-making includes a blend of creativity and strategic business frameworks that never make me feel like we're pursuing one to the detriment of the other. Work - life balance has...

Cons

The location is far away from downtown NYC, which limits the pool of highly technical applicants a bit.

Advice to Management

Continue to focus on people, culture and customers!

Pros

I've been with Priceline for a short period of time now. However, I joined the company because of it's leaders, interesting work in my department and competitive benefits and pay. Those things attracted me to join, but I am now inclined to believe that the culture and opportunities for growth are at the core of why I'd like to stay and continue to develop my career here at Priceline. Great people and truly caring leaders....

Cons

Nothing that deserves much attention to list it here.

Advice to Management

Continue to do what you do!

Pros

Good work life balance Decent pay Relatively easy work

Cons

I wouldn’t recommend Priceline if you’re either: 1) Someone focused on leveling up and becoming a better engineer via learning modern practices. Despite the scale the company operates at, you won’t grow here. Hacky and bad code is more than acceptable here as long as it gets the job done. 2) Someone who values collaboration and a supportive culture. Soft skills are not valued at Priceline, you’ll see engineers get promoted...

Advice to Management

Look for the right things when hiring and promoting people, culture a more supportive culture that focuses on professional growth

Pros

Priceline is a place where you have the opportunity to become the professional you want to be. The company is highly supportive of initiative and brainstorming. The work/life balance is important as management understands that people have lives and things happen - in return, employees are expected to increase productivity and effort when times demand it. Dress code, attitude and protocol are part of a relaxed workplace...

Cons

In recent years, we lost a noticeable number of veterans when upper leadership changed, changing the goals and priorities of some of the departments. Things are just starting to settle back to calm, but the change is still noticeable. We all recognize that change has good intentions, but it must be paced and accepted by those who will be physically enacting the differences. Some employees were terminated, and some...

Advice to Management

While the stock benefits and bonuses can be generous when the company is doing well, pay raises have barely kept up with cost of living increases, which in the end is not a raise. Employees need to feel valued both by not only internal praise, but with real economic and job promotion compensation.

Pros

Lots of interesting work (You have to push for it). Good Pay Very Good mentors Very Flexible

Cons

Worklife balance can sometimes be bad (critical projects). But you end up learning exponentially.
