Booking.com reviews

Rapidly removing benefits, and being sneaky with it - using political weasel words to excuse removing them; and stating they'll come back bigger and better. But they don't. Clique based promotion system; the company desperately states "no show ponies. only work horses" - whilst promoting show ponies and ignoring work horses. Leadership team who literally laugh off any suggestions for improvement or causes for concern. Horrendous tech stack; lack of testing/responsibilities and a poor management structure. Really bad sense of job satisfaction from most of the colleagues I talk to. All in all, a great company rapidly heading in the wrong direction.

- Individualism is discouraged, despite lipservice to the contrary - Quality is a four-letter word - Nobody is permitted to take real ownership--everything you create is considered "public property", and may be disrespected or discarded accordingly - The company is making too much money for its own good. It therefore has no requirement to make good hiring decisions (focuses on numbers of employees rather than quality of employees), vetting ideas, etc. - I markedly and severely became a worse programmer after a year at Booking.com.
