Vantaggi

- Booking.com is very diverse. I loved working with people from dozens of nationalities. - The on-site lunches were nice, but the food got monotonous after a few months. - If you're looking for a European visa, you might consider working at Booking.com, until you find a better job.

Svantaggi

- Individualism is discouraged, despite lipservice to the contrary - Quality is a four-letter word - Nobody is permitted to take real ownership--everything you create is considered "public property", and may be disrespected or discarded accordingly - The company is making too much money for its own good. It therefore has no requirement to make good hiring decisions (focuses on numbers of employees rather than quality of employees), vetting ideas, etc. - I markedly and severely became a worse programmer after a year at Booking.com.

Vantaggi

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.

Svantaggi

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.
