      Great place to grow your career with smart, supportive people

      Pros

      I’ve been at Booking.com for a while now and genuinely enjoy working here. The culture is open, international and down-to-earth, and I feel trusted to do meaningful work rather than just tick boxes. My team is supportive, my manager actually listens, and there are plenty of opportunities to learn, move roles and grow your career. It’s a fast-paced environment with lots of change, but if you like collaborating with smart people and having impact, it’s a great place to be.

      Cons

      Sometimes the pace of change and internal processes can feel overwhelming, so clearer communication and simpler decision-making would make things even better.

      Seamless transition

      Pros

      The recruitment process was incredibly transparent. My recruiter kept me updated at every stage, and the interviewers were technical but encouraging. Now that I’ve started, the first 7 days have been structured and less overwhelming. A whole day for orientation. pheww.

      Cons

      The internal documentation is vast, so it takes a bit of time to navigate where everything is kept and some are outdated. However internal AI helps mostly. a lot of tools and platforms to learn early on, which can be a bit of a steep learning curve in week one
