Pros

If you want to learn about the online travel space, don't look anywhere else. Take a job – pretty much any job – at booking.

Cons

There's a lot of bureaucracy within certain parts of the organization. Compared to other companies of this size, it's not bad but it could be better. The management is too cautious and wants to do multiple tests before doing anything. It's innovative but it innovates within its framework. Nothing truly innovative will be done at Booking.com, but that's OK – for now – because they are so far ahead that everyone is still busy trying to copy them.

Pros

People are great, I have created amazing connections and friendships along the way. Fun work environment we work hard but are able to play harder. Global reach, often connecting with people around the world.

Cons

Not much mobility and constant change. Hard to be stable in that kind of environment. Many times the plan is not fully complete before expecting execution and very siloed creating duplication of effort and work.
