Europeans want to take over US offices!

Pros

Great company at first when it started in the US. The firm believed in customer services and establishing a relationship with clients. However, things changed fast. Booking.com offers good opportunities to self-starters that want to grow in the hospitality industry and make good connections. I made lifelong friends at this job.

Cons

Low salary and poor bonus for Account Managers plus the company brought in many European managers who belived in micro management. They wanted to change the office culture. Here is a wake up call - business is done differently in the US. Please allow your team to succeed on their own. As I mentioned above another issue is their customer service. It went down the drain. Top Management is not experienced or professional.

Started pretty well, ended pretty bad.

Pros

One of the biggest pros to work at Booking.com, at least when I was there, was the people. At the time, we had a pretty strong leadership.

Cons

When I left the company, most of the leaders had left the company as well. At that time, the company lost its focus. The management started to add layers and layers of bureaucracy but still called it a "flat structure." At the time, there were Team Leaders, Über Team Leaders and Senior Team Leaders, making it clear that a hierarchy did exist. Most of these weren't able to manage people (even though many of them were great developers) what led to a great frustration. I've seen plenty of team leaders step down because they weren't valued, even if they gave everything they had to help the company. In the other hand, many yes-saying people just moved to the top of the food-chain.
