Pros

The culture is fun, the office is nice, and the atmosphere is very relaxed, some of the people are great as well…those are the only pros.

Cons

Where do I even begin. I was a customer service executive, and they say they focus more about on-call behavior rather than metric goals, HOWEVER, do not believe this. The job is very metric driven, and the team leads pressure you to meet those goals. Over the last 6 months, the bellevue office has gone through some drastic changes that made employment unbearable. Changing the pay structure and so on. After 6 months, you are eligible for advancement, but you won't get it. Some customer service executives had been there 2 plus years, and no promotion. The room to move up is small, and the job is just demeaning. People yelling at you on the phone for a problem you didn't cause is not a way to spend your day. Do yourself a large favor, and apply somewhere else, like Expedia.

Pros

Company, overall is great! Amazing coworkers and values of the company.

Cons

Every single comment saying the same think - management is very unprofessional and rude, with no knowledge about their and CS job Ignorant - they never listen to agent as they think that they know better even about your own health or that you need to take 5 min to go to toilette. They will comfort you sometimes, if you have a problem and then they will use it against you Sickness policy - put in danger agents as they are scared to take time off to get well Incredibly stressful environment because of the Team leads.

Pros

The most diverse place you could ever work - amazing to work with such a mix of people everyday. Good work life balance. Great support for moving to Netherlands and in general.

Cons

Majority of product development teams are focused on a single conversion metric, often divorced from truly solving customer problems. Ideas are retried over and over, with very little fresh progress in solving legitimate problems. The Booking values dogma - goes unchallenged, and managers are happy as long as the primary metric graph is going in the right direction, despite its foundations often being rotten. Customer feedback/research is unilaterally screaming to stop using misleading content + psychological manipulation on the products, which is ignored. The scale of growth in the product organisations, results in having hundreds of people working on a very small product, resulting in huge amounts of repetition of ideas + mass amounts of conflict. Career progression is a box ticking exercise - reserved for those who want to play the game. Despite being such a diverse company the senior management are all Dutch - all long term employees & with little experience outside of Booking.com.
