Pros

Lunch, good office. No real pros, watch lots of cons. The office location is quite fine but there are many offices.

Cons

The management is worst I've seen. They don't work just watch people. No benefits at work. They provide only hustle and chaos. The senior management is lying about salaries increase and not doing anything for years. Only Dutch in the senior management, not equal opportunities. Lowest salaries, no raise. You would never ever get benefits at work. If you ask managers for something they even don't listen. Management evaluates themselves with the highest rankings, doing favoritism.

Pros

Dynamic, live environment, good work-life balance, multinational teams of virtually every nation on Earth. Generally good business process and goals, good understanding of its business. Data-driven approach.

Cons

Software engineering in Booking.com is very clearly just a business tool, e.g. refactoring, testing, code reviews, proper software architecture are rare and not encouraged, the mantra is "being pragmatic and getting things done". You will not learn how to be a good software engineer here, except for trainee/junior positions. The codebase is a giant monolithic ball of Perl with all of its drawbacks. Technology is very conservative and often shortsighted. The company is hostile to non-iterative and breaking changes. Values of the company are good on the surface, but shortsighted, oversold and often have a lot of real life drawbacks (although effective enough to earn good money). The attitude "we don't care about what customers do not see" is steadily hurting the company from the inside, and huge network effect allows the company to sit on top of its huge hotel/user base.
