Pros: Good work environment and work-life balance.

Cons: Nothing major, but in some teams, they are using old technologies.

Pros: Technically, it is one of the companies that will challenge your skills as an engineer at scale. Not the biggest scale out there, but still. The company runs on lots of in-house built infrastructure, which is an opportunity for engineers to expose themselves to a wide domain of knowledge and experience.

Cons: Almost all managers I've worked with are under-qualified to manage people or processes. The majority can't take a decision in a timely manner. Decisions are always too late to be good. No accountability whatsoever. A manager that fails to deliver once is still trusted to deliver a second time. And if he/she fails the second time, why not trust them with yet another deliverable, maybe a more critical one!! Over the years, the company has lost LOTs to the good devs for reasons always related to management. Success in Booking.com is more of a success to give promises with catchy wordings to a group of managers who like you. As for actually delivering, or what the impact is, it does not matter much. You will hear "data-driven", "measure the impact", etc., in meetings, but history, more than once, proved it's just words!

Pros: Good work-life balance, fully hybrid.

Cons: Toxic environment, bad management. Embarrassing amount of equity.
