Not all it's cracked up to be

Pros

Easy work, lots of free time to throw balls at each other and goof off and make fun of people. It's like high school all over again.

Cons

Management is pathetic (especially Areas and most Seniors, they can't even use the system themselves in most cases); hard work and intelligence goes unnoticed if they don't like you for whatever reason; promises are a dime a dozen, US management doesn't follow the company culture in any sense of the word; unrealistic goals (who's coming up with this? DO THEY HAVE ANY TYPE OF REVENUE ANALYST BACKGROUND??); did I mention empty promises and crap managers who spend all their time developing themselves and leave the less informed employees to be trained by their colleagues? Oh, and the pay is pathetic.

Open and challenging environment

Pros

Booking.com is a fast paced and flat organization, there is little bureaucracy even though the company is fairly big now, we have an open floor plan. But mostly there is lots of opportunity for the company and employees to grow within it.

Cons

It can be chaotic at times, everything happens fast so you will have to be vigilant and flexible to go with the changes in the market and the company. That could actually also go in Pro, depends on what you like.

Pros

Benefits Hours (9-5:30pm) Pay is ok (45k salary) Location (Downtown in the Loop) Company is great but the Chicago office is a bad apple. Hopefully with the new CEO in charge, there will be some changes in management

Cons

Managers have no confidence in themselves. They treat you like children, and you get to play a "game" if the internet is down. They like to hold meetings to hear themselves talk. They demean you in front of your colleagues. Morale in this office is low. It's sad when management stresses you out more than the actual work (which is simple and not very challenging unfortunately). Management is hypocritical and routinely leaves the office to go run personal errands (you know, like shopping cleaning supplies for an hour). I have never had to report a manager to HR before but I did here and was retaliated against. They do not do things the right way here which means using common sense and getting the job done. It's a joke. If you respect yourself and have a heart, work elsewhere.
