Booking.com reviews

Working there reminded me of the song "chain on fools" daily :-) Unprofessional is saying the least... not even sure they grasp what this word means. Clueless management with TL's who do not even have basic human skills let alone work ones. Biased treatment of employees, rules will be applied to some but not to all. If you are not liked you will bullied and harassed out of your job in mafia style way. Fake attitude throught the whole place. People don't even acknowledge you with basic courtesies like an hello when they see you, sorry if they bump into you or thank you if hold the door for them and then gush out how amazing and friendly they all are on the on the workplace social media platform so as to get brownie points with TLs which will gain them visibility enche leading to promotions. Company procedures lack common sense or any other purpouse than making the work long winded. Quality team evaluation are a complete sham, based more on personal perception than on looking at the real quality of the work done. At least in London the quality team is made up by a bunch of brainless individuals which were chosen for the position precisely for that. You ask questions and the answers given are unrelated and do not make sense... just talking for the sake of it. The system on wich the platform is based is complete rubbish. Website crasshes constantly, information is misleading or plain wrong, bugs are a daily accurance... basically just a rubbish product which employees are expected to consider (and the company as well) as the best thing the planet ever had. At time the whole atmosphere in meetings and events is so creepy and self celebrating it reminded me of cults. Manegement was investigated for sexual harassment and bullying but in the end all stayed the same. I was personally discriminated and when i raised this up nothing was done. Basically just a workplace you should avoid if you want to work in a friendly and professional environment

- they hire and fire Product Managers quicker than certain people change their socks. There are number of cases where they fire product managers without any reason behind and don’t care about the legal consequences. - I’ve been in HR industry for 10+ years but never saw any other company making promises bluntly and not delivering them. There has been cases when new hires (product owners) relocate from distant seas for Booking to discover that everything that Booking promissed is one big lie and the only option they have is to sit quiet or return back to their homeland. - The company is on a moment many people in the product/tech organisation are demotivated by the short term focus, and no innovation behind. - The experimentation culture Booking is famous for doesn’t even follow basic standards, there no training behind and product leaders to drive it forward. - Leadership is non existent, puppets everywhere, people are afraid to question and if they do - they get fired. Forget about promotion or higher salary. - Overall, toxic place to be in. Would not even recommend it to my dearest enemy.
