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 never been an issue. Individuals take ownership for their projects and are motivated to drive results, so there is a positive pressure to be innovative but to deliver in a timely fashion so that everyone is able to cross the line on time.
Third, the benefits! Great time off and health plan.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. Can't ask for more!
Cons
Nothing that deserves much attention to list it here.

Pros
Priceline.com is a great place to be. Very entrepreneurial, collaborative culture. Each person is really free to drive new features and products to the consumer. And many opportunities to work with other Booking Holdings companies.
Cons
Lean organization that can be tough getting your projects through but on you to push and champion

RecommendsNeutral OutlookNo opinion of CEOI have been working at Priceline.com full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Some great challenges coming up with the CLOUD transformation happening.
The business is complex and requires a lot of good engineering to get it right.
Work life balance can be achieved if you don't deal with micro managers like I do.Cons
The lack of a development plan.
Most principal engineers are not even seniors.
Hiring process is not on par with daily tasks.
No communication between teams.
Some engineers will do whatever they want to do just because their manager is extremely weak.
Low budget company - everything is a struggle - even snacks are a problem.Priceline.com 2018-09-17 19:08 PDTHelpful (3)

Doesn't RecommendNeutral OutlookDisapproves of CEOI worked at Priceline.com full-time (More than a year)
Pros
Good work life balance
Decent pay
Relatively easy workCons
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 who are relatively good at what they do but have zero soft skills and as such make terrible people to work with. Management is well aware of these deficiencies and yet does nothing to improve these people or promote better people. Its also hard to get help from teammates if you are struggling, there’s a strong lone wolf culture.
If you’re a decent engineer and are looking for a 9-5 where you won’t be bothered too much Priceline is fine, just don’t go there to be inspired by your coworkers, the culture or the mission.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 while still expecting the best of everyone. The office is an open door and floor plan environment where everyone is encouraged to collaborate, idea share, and think across teams, all in the spirit of being the best travel deal makers. Period. Leadership is just as much a part of the open office and invites everyone to chat at any time with whatever the thought.
I have been with the company for nearly 15 years. I have seen veterans stay and newbies come and go. The company is what you make it and has a good reputation of rewarding those who stay. Personally, I have needed the support of flexible work days, and I know that my demonstrated dedication has earned me that privilege. People looking for a place to have a long term career should consider Priceline. There are always opening for new positions in many departments.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 left out of frustration.
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.
