Acceptable job, great colleagues but not a dream job for sure
Pros
The best part of working at Agoda is that I have great people in my team. Young, smart professionals, fun to hang out with. The salary and the working hours are reasonable, I am never obliged to do any overtime. My bosses never call me after work or on weekends, holidays, so you can really disconnect and enjoy your free time. The company itself has great perspectives and is definitely a growing multinational with a solid background. I had quite a lot of trainings and I have learnt a lot since I am here. You can be sure that you get your paycheck on time and that everything works correctly.
Cons
If you plan a great career at Agoda, wake up, your chances are pretty low! The company has a flat structure, so there is little possibility for promotions. There are a few people who made a career here, but you really have to be lucky as well and be at the right place at the right time, working hard and having great skills is not enough here. For most of the job roles you have to sit in front of the computer all day and there are some very monotonous tasks. A big problem is that the leading management and CEO don`t communicate what is their strategy and where is the company going and what is the reason behind some major decisions. This makes you feel like a little ant who doesn`t know anything. I also have the feeling that the middle management doesn`t know much more either.. This way it is hard to trust the company and believe they really care about you.
