It is a good place
It is a good place
I'm pretty new, and I only heard about the past. My observation doesn't reflect on the past.
- People, culture, and value-focused organization.
- I like the balance between product and technology.
- There is room and time for honest discussions about product and tech.
- Discussions are professional (however, we laugh a lot), and everyone is willing to make compromises.
- We rather seek the right decisions and good, short-term decisions.
- A/B testing is paramount, and it provides a subjective, well-refined dataset for decisions (I worked for a company where, even though they were data-driven, their datasets were questionable).
- Benefits from Booking and the legislative environment of The Netherlands create a very nice working environment.
- Amazing learning resources (Udemy, O'Reilly, internal trainings, mentoring), so you can knock yourself out.
- Very nice work-life balance.
- Booking is still a profit-oriented organization, meaning they are going to make decisions you won't like.
From a shareholder's point of view, management is doing a great job. From an employee's point of view, they are also doing a great job. If you guys remain honest and approachable as you are now, it is good.
