Beautiful campus, but toxic management and limited growth

Anonymous employee

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Nice lunch, campus is beautiful. Working remotly for some teams is easier then others. They offer some nice benefits for travel or different type of leave.

Cons

Management is really toxic and there is a lot of favoritism and nepotism all over. Generally, leadership is not that good at leading. People stay there for salaries and status. Career is progression hardly possible.

Booking.com Response

Hi, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're glad you appreciated some of the benefits and our campus. However, we're truly sorry to hear about your experience with management — this is not reflective of the inclusive and supportive culture we strive to build. We have clear policies against favouritism in our Code of Conduct, and we're actively working with local management to reinforce professional behaviour so every employee feels valued and has equal opportunities. We strongly encourage you to reach out to your HR Business Partner or our confidential 24-hour Ethics & Compliance Helpline to share your experience — all reports are fully investigated.

Good long-term move

Inbound sourcer

Recommend

CEO approval

Business Outlook

Pros

Good opportunity to turn a contract role into a long-term career move. Becoming permanent brought more stability, better benefits, and a stronger sense of being part of the team. Collaborative environment with good exposure to the wider business.

Cons

As a permanent employee there is naturally more process and internal navigation than as a contractor. Progress can take time in a large organisation, and expectations can grow quickly after the transition.

Booking.com Response

Hi, thank you for sharing such a thoughtful review! It's great to hear that the transition to a permanent role brought more stability and a stronger sense of belonging. We believe in building lasting careers for our people, and your feedback on internal navigation in a large organisation is something we continue to work on. We hope you keep growing and thriving with us! The Booking.com team
