The only thing they care about are metrics

Pros

Their diversity, they claim to respect. They celebrate holidays with food.

The party in Amsterdam, they tell you, you will go. But then they tell you you won't qualify. I was here for 4 years and only went 1 time.

Cons

They stress you out about metrics you cannot control, like their CSAT (Customer Satisfaction). You have to get 90% or die. The system does not work right. If the guest, for some reason, thinks they are writing a review for the hotel and they leave a bad one, that number goes to you, even when the comment says, "I hated the hotel." The point from the CSAT goes against you. If the guest leaves a bad score by mistake, but in the comments, they praise your customer service and it's an obvious mistake, it still goes to your score. If you are below 90%, you get in trouble.

I stopped working at Booking and was supposed to get my check the following Friday. Due to some internal issues, I got my check one month and a half late. They are so disorganized that I still have access to my Booking email.

Advice to Management

Be fair to your staff. If you do something for one, do it for all. There is a lot of preference and favoritism in the company. I never got my exit interview because HR looks for who is going to say good things and they get it. I was not only waiting for my check, but also for that exit interview.
