Booking.com reviews

- Pressure to write code that converts - Distance between programmers and the management that evaluates your performance is really big, which causes severe communication problems - Inconsistency in performance evaluations, where team leaders not always respect what is asked of your role and gives arbitrary decisions - HR encourages to talk with them to review performance evaluations but they won't listen to you and will repeat whatever they heard from team leaders - Developers that are not capable of being team leaders are being promoted as such when they just don't know how to deal with people and treat you like a coding robots - Politics games with clear, unprepared favorites - You need to show off your job or you will never be recognized - Micromanagement - The tech stack is at least 10 years old, I didn't learn nothing new in my area - Perl

So many cons. Any manager above team lead is a complete joke. They will not hire anyone out of their 20s and are slowly getting rid of older employees. They are constantly preaching that only young, energetic people fit the "culture". They treat the GRR, Orlando, and Bellevue credit control departments as a frat house. You are made to feel bad if you don't want to go drink and goof off many nights a week. Heaven forbid you have a life outside of work. These so called managers are telling employees that it doesn't matter if you're good at your job, if you dont fit their idea of the "perfect personality " they will replace you. Clearly they dont comprehend that Booking believes in diversity. New, young employees are hired in making more than those that have been there for years, while experience is given a 2% yearly raise. Experience is also treated as a bad thing and those employees are told they bring down the engagement score. Don't bother wasting your time here. Unless the senior managers in the company can wake up and treat get rid of the bad managers in this department, this is on a fast track to failure.
