Pros

Being able to network with people from all over the world and the in-office massage chair.

Cons

The environment in Booking.com Korea was unbearable. Managers create a hostile environment. The rest of the employees are subservient and smile on the outside, but complain nonstop and cry on the inside. I've never been in such a toxic work environment. Management does not know how to manage their team, does not know what's going on within their own team, does not have any sense of responsibility, does not take ownership, and simply does not care about the people -- management only cares about looking good to higher management in HQ. Hard work and dedication goes unnoticed. Quality work does not matter, as long as it looks like you achieved something. Also, people in all offices in Korea cannot speak/write in English. It's appalling to see how people speak in Korean during meetings and presentations when there are employees from other countries who cannot speak/understand Korean.
