Pros

Global company culture will increase your network, gathered so many friends worldwide after few years of working here!

Cons

No loyalty from company. When required to venture into new country markets, will package a good remuneration deal to lure you in. After 1 or 2 years into the job, management will hire cheaper locals who know nothing about company culture or product. Just because new inexperienced locals are cheap. And void your contract the next year. Or kill your morale by removing sick leave. No maternity leave for females. No advancement opportunities because your local manager is earning even lower than you! Company is not concerned that you exceed your targets, they just want to save on manpower costs.

Pros

After three months at Booking.com as an Account Manager, my experience has been very positive so far. The onboarding process is structured, and expectations are clearly set for new hires. The role is intellectually stimulating and offers strong exposure to the travel industry, commercial decision-making, and performance-driven work. I’ve felt supported by my peers and managers, with regular feedback, clear incentives, and encouragement to grow. The team environment is collaborative, and there is a genuine focus on learning, data-driven thinking, and ownership of your portfolio. For someone looking to build or accelerate a commercial career, it’s an exciting place to be.

Cons

As a new hire, it’s clear that this is a fast-paced and demanding environment. The learning curve is steep, and there is a lot of information, tools, and processes to absorb in a short amount of time. Priorities can move quickly, which may feel overwhelming at first. Because I am still early in my journey, some longer-term aspects of the role — such as workload sustainability, career progression, and regional adaptability — are still unfolding. It’s a role that requires resilience, adaptability, and comfort with ambiguity, which may not suit everyone.
