Pros

Amazing workmates and multicultural environment

Cons

The company is growing too fast and implementing loads of products and actions, without considering the impact in their partners or employees, big data is not always the solution, small data can be taken into consideration too, you might be surprised of the results. They do not inform about the changes, so you get the angry hotels calling and asking for information you do not have in advance and you have to look for it in minutes and be able to explain it to the callers and ask them not to be angry and stop insulting you. Procedures (specially security procedure) change every week, there is no way to get updated on time but you get punished for sure if you make the tiniest mistake on a call, as they listen to your calls to spot them. You have formal meetings threatening you not to make mistakes. You will never get promoted if you are not “visible” for the right people. You are just a number. Schedules are generated by a machine, so you never get any preferences for days off as they say “this is for company needs”. Again you are just a number.

Pros

Salary + bonus was good (at least by Spanish standards), but at the expense of your nerves... When the work was unbearable, they pretended to be so cool and nice by giving the employees ice cream, or popcorn, or setting a photo booth. I would have preferred to get more money instead of all that crap. Every year they take most of their employees to Amsterdam for their Christmas Party and give an expensive Christmas present.

Cons

This company overexploits its employees. The workload is impossible. I was on the Spanish line and we had to take calls not only from Spain but from the whole Latin America. Call after call after call during 8 hours a day. I have seen several times girls crying at work because they were so stressed. You have like 10 minutes during the day to go to the toilet or get some water, every minute counts, and is totally controlled by the phone system. One minute late will affect your quarterly bonus! Same with sickness leaves. All they care about is getting more and more clients (hotels) without even giving them a training on how the platform works, it translates on more work for the customer service agents.
