Pros
There are still some talented, intelligent, passionate people stuck here. I have met some of my best friends at this company. You get to travel to Europe once a year for the company holiday party. Can get you a WAY better job in the future, I would use this as a stepping stone to another company and nothing else!
Cons
So... I waited 2 years to write this review thinking that after a while I would be less angry and write a more neutral review of the company that I spent about 2 years with. However, the bad feelings are still so strong that I know I will be writing a very negative review of this company! Mainly, because NOTHING has changed! You guys really need to start reading these reviews and taking them seriously or the talented people that you keep tricking into working here won't be around to trick anymore! If you think you can get promoted and advance in your career here, think again! Unless, of course, you are best buds with upper management and get invited to family brunch on Sundays (that's right family). Meaning if you are not related to and/or at least the same ethnicity of management you will not get promoted. If you find yourself in the same boat I was in, e.g. not either of these things you better be prepared to brown nose. This company is ALL about quantity! Get more hotels on the site! That is their chant! Never mind the fact that the market is saturated and all that are left to acquire are small B&Bs and uncommon accommodations (what are these? - basically anything with a bed!). All about the almighty dollar, huh Booking? Speaking of dollars, you will make enough money to barely pay rent and you will stress about your bills every month! Thanks Booking! (NOT!)- Oh what's that another trip to Amsterdam where all the employees get deathly ill, sure that will make up for everything.... This company also loves to create new roles, which sounds great until they decide that they no longer need that position and just get rid of it! Oh yeah, that happened! Twice in about a 2 year span. At least when your position no longer exists you get out, but let's say that you are foolish enough to try to stay at this company. Of course, you can apply to a new position, but then you better not expect to make the same amount of money...oh yeah remember when I said that you barely make any money to begin with, well Booking would prefer to lessen your income by at least $10K! If this is not enough information to make you start considering other avenues to start a career, then take a look at the other 90 reviews on here that are all basically saying the same stuff.
