Pros

relocation to amsterdam if you don't have a EU visa, nice lunch.

Cons

slow and unproductive development process, no tech leadership, wild west and chaotic structure. No improvement over time (5 years), vindictive managers.

We appreciate you taking the time to write this review. Hearing your feedback helps us improve the Booking.com experience. We encourage our teams to take ownership and push themselves to create breakthrough ideas. However, if you’re finding this process to be demotivating within your team, please bring this up with your HR Business Partner directly. It’s our aim to provide an environment where everyone has the opportunity to grow and develop their career. While we are actively working to improve our management capabilities, any retaliatory behaviour from management is completely against our values. If you see this happening, please reach out to our 24-hour Ethics & Compliance Helpline; it is completely confidential and all issues are fully investigated. Lastly, please also know that our leadership team is actively recruiting for a new CTO. We know the importance and need for this role as it relates to our tech and overall business growth.
