Dynamic and liberal
- Startup atmosphere combined with global reach
- Collegiality and respect for individuals and ideas
- Room for influence through personal initiative
- Many different challenges in various fields
- Work/life balance, freedom from micromanagement
- Hard to hold others accountable for quality control.
- Middle management plays catch-up to initiatives from below and directions from above.
- Little incentive to offer guidance or to take feedback on engineering matters.
From engineering, demand more than buzzwords and deus ex machina arguments. Take more time to understand code and engineering talent as invested assets. Have faith that Booking engineers are equally smart as anywhere else.
