Pros: Good people, interesting to work with.

Cons: I don't see many cons here.

Pros: At Booking.com, I have met by far the highest percentage of smart people, genuinely willing to help you, wanting to do the right thing, open to hear your feedback and act on it, and also to provide you feedback. Most managers are open to be challenged; decisions are made based on data/reasons and not on "rank". Great office, great opportunity to meet different people and work in a truly international environment.

Cons: The codebase is very bad. I have spent weeks struggling to add some functionality that might have taken me 1-2 days max to implement in clean code or from scratch. We are making progress, but unless you are on a good project with newer tech, the developer experience can be a pain, and growth from a technical point of view can be limited. Also, there is no baseline between teams/departments: from technical, functional, and UX, but most importantly, from a performance evaluation point of view. I have seen people being over-appreciated in some areas who would be really underperformers in other areas and vice versa.

Pros: Booking.com is a good place to work.

Cons: Booking.com can be a better workplace.
