A great place to work, but with some flaws
Site Reliability Engineer • Current Employee
Amsterdam, Netherlands
October 16, 2025
Pros: Amazing to work at such a large-scale company.
So many talented people you can work with and learn from.
Above-average market salary.
Cons: The company perks are not as good as you'd expect from a name such as Booking.com.
Teams mostly work in silos, so it's extremely difficult to get things done when multiple teams are required to do something.
Your work rarely has a big impact; we are small cogs in a huge machine.

Really weird company
Site Reliability Engineer • Former Employee
Amsterdam, North Holland, Netherlands
December 5, 2022
Pros: Actually, big salary and really good coffee machines in offices. Some engineers are really good.
Cons: They can fire you just because they don't like you. You should be silent and praise the company; that's the only way you can survive there. It doesn't really matter how good you are; no one cares about that. If you want to change something inside the company, you should just give up in the beginning, because you're supposed to just keep things up and running but not to evolve.
