Best time of my life
Software Engineer • Former Employee
November 15, 2022
Pros: Work-life balance, amazing colleagues.
Cons: Not so technically advanced; worked in Perl.
5.0
Pays well. Good culture
Software Engineer • Current Employee
Manchester, England, United Kingdom
December 15, 2022
Pros: There is a good culture, strongly promoted at Booking.com. Pay was a little below market average, but this was addressed, and it is now above. Being a big company means opportunities to move teams and grow.
Cons: The downside of any large company is the inevitable bureaucracy that comes with that. The promotion process is more rigorous than applying for the same job externally, etc. People can be moved between teams without consultation sometimes. Inevitably, it's a business, and unpopular decisions are occasionally made based on balance sheets.
