Everything is done with A/B tests. It's very easy to implement your feature without a fear that it will break something. However, it doesn't mean that if the metrics are negative, your change will be 100% rejected. That's what I love about working here; I've never heard, 'It's red, so forget about it.' If you can explain it, everyone is here to listen and help.
The code is worse than you might expect. Imagine a 10-year mix of JavaScript and Perl, sometimes supported by designers with differently configured editors.
It has its own syntax, defeating the purpose of any smart code editor. 'We need to think more if we really need ES6... in 2017.' That's really what it is: no code style, no tests, no reviews, no working code quality tools, huge CSS full of !important.
Frequent rotations and structural team changes: if you ask somebody how it works, the response most likely will be: 'I don't know, I'm new here, let me check it for you.'
I don't know, everything else is perfect. If such code doesn't offend you, it's the best place to work.
Keep it up. Everything is perfect.

Interview with the recruiter, then interview at their offices in Amsterdam. The interview with the recruiter, as always, was a piece of cake. However, the interview at Booking was difficult and quite silly (writing code with a pencil on white paper)
The first telephone interview covered general HR questions. The second interview was over Skype with two of their developers and was technical. The first part was more business-related, covering metrics, A/B testing, and conversions. Everything we
