Pros

Everything is so cheap !

Cons

One of directors wrote here that Agoda is "true meritocracy"... NO WAY this is either a lie, or just ignorance. The truth about this place is that it is being ruled by few directors, all happen to come from the same small company, and they just behave like a Mafia. Unbelievable, but true. Not meritocracy like they would like candidates to think, but more like Mediocracy or Idiocracy... as all the professional people are leaving (some of them after less than half a year unbelievable), and what's left are mediocres. They would do anything for their personal survival, one year after another, one bonus after another - that's only what in front of them. Lies around performance, treating employees disrespectfully, arrogant managers' attitude, playing with Kpis and headcount. You would feel like a slave. You have no say on what's going on, all the decisions are made by this group, and with zero visibility. So many good people are leaving!! Just in the lasy half a year - around 150!
