Engineering Manager Interview Experience - Netherlands
Process
I only had an initial call with a recruiter.
He didn't see my CV and had probably not seen my LinkedIn page. Right away, he started to talk about the interview process for a role that is way below my current role and way below my current pay.
When I interrupted the recruiter, saying, "Sorry, but this role is not for me. I'm overqualified for that," he became defensive and aggressive. I had to leave the call.

- 1.0The worst place to work for…Engineering Manager • Former EmployeeManchester, England, United KingdomNovember 27, 2022Pros: Free bananas, but no more other pros.Cons: Booking.com is a prime example of a company that shouldn’t be. Discrimination and sexism are constant in working life. On the media front, it all looks great, but behind the scenes, unfairness and misogyny are rife. A definite no to anyone with parental duties or any female in technology. The whole experience of working for this company has left me traumatized and depressed.
