Pros

- brilliant growing company - Booking.com always think things thru before doing (might not seem so at times but they do) - to have been a part of a growing and market leading company

Cons

-management, managers, managers..!! There are no words that can describe the sadness of seeing a great company not investing and finding good managers. Promoting someone just because you are friends with the managers is not ok. A manager needs to have managements skills and willingness to be a manager for the team, not just apply for the job just for the title!! Someone wrote in a previous post that the company is like high school and unfortunately I find it's worse. than that It's like a kindergarden where kids are playing in a sandbox and choosing and deciding over their colleagues work career and life. The company sends out a survey each year since they want to know how everything is going, (this is supposedly anonymous) and even though the managers I had and the office in general got a low score the company did NOTHING to change the situation. 70% of the staff in the office where i worked quit their jobs during one year and went to other companies and still nothing happens from the higher management! Booking.com just hired new people (younger and younger, so they can be formed in to the Booking Blue format) that gets off on the fact that there is a big party each year and freaky fridays. Before everyone was working together to achieve the targets set - a goal to make the company grow. Now you are just a number, that was hired to sell, sell and sell. We needed to get a good relationship with the hotels, but the hotelier could not call or write us but we would call them 2-3 times a week and on top of that also go visit. imploring them to do deals and similar just to get our numbers. Nothing of the commercial part was left in the end, only selling. Im sure Booking.com will continue to loose good and serious employees due to this . My advice is to see that Booking.com is a good school, do a year there and then take your knowledge and go to another comapny that will treat and pay you better!

Pros

Company leader, especially in Italy. No too much pressure but time for personal projects. Gives you real insight of the distribution online in the hospitality industry.

Cons

Personally I wouldn't stay forever as it won't give me everything I want to grow but certainly a good start.
