Pluspunten

Quite a few talented individuals. Unfortunately, some of them have been blinded by (or promoted) the restrictive technology stack. Some people might enjoy the work-life balance.

Minpunten

Inexperienced management driven by fear, not by idea sharing and a desire to improve. The only ones who have survived are the ones who lowered their heads into the ground and keep their mouths shut to anything the CIO said. Managers only have time for their petty squabble and political power play, overlooking the pressing issues of their employees. Inconsistency and lack of transparency in decision making. The constant secrecy about direction, future projects, promotions, salaries, bonuses. Low salaries for the kind of work we're asking for. Cheap and bureaucratic about every single thing. You can't get a sticker without some big manager having to approving it. Technology is from 10 years ago and the technology "leadership" likes to keep it that way. Any project outside of "perl city" is shut down (literally) unless you're one of the few "special people", lone wolves who are allowed to choose any technology they want.

Pluspunten

After three months at Booking.com as an Account Manager, my experience has been very positive so far. The onboarding process is structured, and expectations are clearly set for new hires. The role is intellectually stimulating and offers strong exposure to the travel industry, commercial decision-making, and performance-driven work. I’ve felt supported by my peers and managers, with regular feedback, clear incentives, and encouragement to grow. The team environment is collaborative, and there is a genuine focus on learning, data-driven thinking, and ownership of your portfolio. For someone looking to build or accelerate a commercial career, it’s an exciting place to be.

Minpunten

As a new hire, it’s clear that this is a fast-paced and demanding environment. The learning curve is steep, and there is a lot of information, tools, and processes to absorb in a short amount of time. Priorities can move quickly, which may feel overwhelming at first. Because I am still early in my journey, some longer-term aspects of the role — such as workload sustainability, career progression, and regional adaptability — are still unfolding. It’s a role that requires resilience, adaptability, and comfort with ambiguity, which may not suit everyone.
