Pros

- Multi-cultural environment - It's depends on the team and team-lead, but mostly everyone is friendly and people are treated with respect - If you struggling with your task you can get support. - Great teamwork

Cons

- If you get sick you will need to call your manager until 10 o'clock in the morning. Afterwards you will have degrading return to work interview. - Culture, fairness, working environment, working from home allowance and stress level - will vary strong from team to team and manager to manager.

Hi and thanks for your feedback. There is a fundamental truth in your feedback that applies to any business, in that a colleague's experience of a company is really dependant on their manager. I'm sure like every business we have managers at all levels of the awesomeness scale. We are working hard to make sure that every manager has the skills and support they need to be awesome. We have recently launched our award winning Leadership Behaviour Framework, that will help us build and improve the management and leadership skills across BookingGo as a whole. Having said that, it sounds like you have a very specific issue around your return to work. I would encourage you to discuss this with a member of the People Team or drop me a line. I'd love to hear about it. Thanks Ryan
