Good long-term move

Inbound sourcer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good opportunity to turn a contract role into a long-term career move. Becoming permanent brought more stability, better benefits, and a stronger sense of being part of the team. Collaborative environment with good exposure to the wider business.

Cons

As a permanent employee there is naturally more process and internal navigation than as a contractor. Progress can take time in a large organisation, and expectations can grow quickly after the transition.

Booking.com Response

Hi, thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review! It's great to hear that the transition to a permanent role brought more stability and a stronger sense of belonging. We believe in building lasting careers for our people, and your feedback on internal navigation in a large organisation is something we continue to work on. We hope you keep growing and thriving with us! The Booking.com team
