Advice to Management

Care

Pros

1. Great work life balance resulted from the scientific management system (Agile and Quarterly goals) 2. Great benefits 3. Friendly environment to learn new technology and knowledge 4. As the company is still growing per business and technology, the business requirements will push you to jump outside comfort zone and learn continuously 5. Strong supports from Booking Holdings sibling companies which makes the company have great potentials 6. People are friendly, company structure is kind of flat, and offices doors are all open, so your voice will be heard by any level if you want

Cons

1. Company does not have formal program to cultivate fresh graduates, so most of the new blood of the company comes from other companies. 2. As most of the positions empty after people left are filled with experienced people from outside(both individual contributor and management tracks), so the culture of the company is a mixture as different team leaders are having different cultures inside teams. 3. As management positions are not filled from inside, during the management change, there will be contradictory plans showing up especially in details (the same direction from high level, but different opinions of how to achieve the goals). 4. All of the reasons above make the career development path inside the company not very clear, especially for management track

Pros

It has been more than 5 years I'm working here. It is a great company. Work culture and benefits are fantastic. CEO knows what he is doing. Very good leadership team. You can easily get recognized by the leadership team if your work is good and if your manager is not taking credits for all your efforts. 

Cons

Payscale can get better. Living costs in Norwalk/Stamford area are pretty high due to its proximity to NYC.  I have heard of very bad things from Business teams(especially hotels). If you are joining for analytics, think twice. It is not a place to be. Many people who joined recently are trying to take credits for other's work and sustaining.  Hotels Business Head has no idea how to drive the business, what data we have, nor a vision for the team. He is just trying to cover up things. This team didn't need one more Project manager to micro-manage the team. Even though none of them are happy with this, no one is raising their voices because the dept head has warned them of adverse effects. (dirty politics)

Advice to Management

Have leadership talk to everyone individually to understand how they feel about the team/managers/work. Many things are going unnoticed. Please change the review system. Include peer review and manager and Managers manager review into the process like other companies  

Pros

Collaborative work environment, colleagues are supportive.

Cons

Heavy work load. infra and dev tools could be better.

Pros

Great place to work and great people. You will enjoy coming into work everyday.

Cons

None. Great company values and culture.

Advice to Management

Keep up the great work.

Pros

Awesome people for the most part. Great downtown office. Fun Atmosphere

Cons

My experience with management was horrible, my manager frequently talked badly about other employees and management. When I brought these issues up with higher management nothing was done. My manager also had very poor communication skills and once told us the reason we weren't invited to participate in interviews was "there weren't enough chairs." Unfortunately, the managers here seem they were picked for technical skill/seniority rather than their ability to management

Advice to Management

Management needs to be thought of more as a position dealing with people rather than who is the most technically proficient.

Pros

Fun holiday parties, some kind people

Cons

No clear strategy and frequent changes in direction from management makes it difficult to feel invested in anything. Not a great environment for women. CEO is the world's worst micromanager.
