Pros
- Recruiting team rolled out the red carpet... truly an amazing process! - Large business impacting users on a global scale - Beautiful corporate offices (and new campus coming soon) - Travel industry is bouncing back since the beginning of the pandemic - Incredibly good compensation packages
Cons
I am hoping I found myself in a unique situation at Booking, but what the recruiters sold me and what I found to be the reality of the role I accepted were not in alignment. The team was non-existent and management had performance demands on me that did not match the reality of what resources were available to me to deliver on those demands. As a result, we concluded that the role was not a good fit for me and I left the company in my second month of employment. Thank goodness I hadn't moved to Amsterdam (yet)! Don't under-estimate how expensive Amsterdam (and area) are to live in. Even with a huge salary, your housing might be very modest.
