Job's okay, as long as you don't love the beauty of engineering
Booking has some very awesome people working for it. The office is located in the center of Amsterdam, which is awesome, and the company gives developers enough freedom to feel close to the customers.
Developers have always had a lot of freedom, and this has resulted in many years of technical debt. The infrastructure team's job is essentially to pay this debt, and not much else. On top of that, the salaries are not at all competitive. If you don't like Amsterdam, you're out of luck. This international company has more than a hundred offices, but won't let developers live outside the Amsterdam region.
Address the salary problem so that Booking is actually a good choice for employment.
