Agoda Reviews

Pros

Training is good, base pay is nice, hotel discounts

Cons

Lots of politics, India country head has lot of ego he will not let you progress in career if you are not in his good books, senior management also incapable they are not adaptable to changes, they will never encourage young talent or good ideas, managers are not professional they will take things personally on their ego if you share constructive feedback or highlight mistakes committed by their favorite employees, outdated technology with lot of bugs, Appraisals are pathetic only 5-7 percent, during joining they will make you sign an agreement where you won't be able to join any competition company within 9 months of leaving Agoda, they will hold your bonus if you quit before March, there is no career development program, people are sitting in same position for 4-5 years so no scope of growth for junior employees, everyone is chilling and India business is suffering.

Pros

fast paced. innovative high IQ environment

Cons

bosses constantly sneak inn at your desk, they stare at your screen, if they see you talking on phone , if they are around , they will pick words from your conversation and ask whom were you talking to. Managers manager share 360 review scores and who wrote what about them, becomes difficult to work with the manager later. openly get threatened on to work closely with specific individuals and not to interact with other seniors , not a cordial environment to work inn. Biased very openly on same people getting opportunity. openly threatening of losing job. always pointing mistakes, no public appreciation. take our ideas and show others that you telling them what to do. very difficult to reach out to senior bosses as we fear they will tell immediate boss whats being reported. our boss share salary details with TL , the TL says openly i decide who gets promoted , particular TL's team has maximum raise and promotions. top boss in the destination makes other people fight with each other.. wrong actions by TL's are never confronted even if you reach out to his manager. i cant even write the country name as i dint want to lose my job

Pros

1) MNC feel 2) Customer centric. They really value their customers and do anything and everything to make them happy but sadly don't have the same approach fro employees!!

Cons

1) Too much internal politics which is annoying as you are hardly judged on your performance and mostly on how much you butter the senior management 2) Employee feedback is a scam as they don't take any suggestions positively and keep taunting employees instead 3) Office space is bad as it lacks basic things Iike coffee machine and also has no employee engagement activities like rest zone, games etc. They are redoing Bangkok HQ but ignoring other locations as usual. 4) No employee off sites or activities expect Bangkok which is the HQ. They discriminate between their offices locations. 5) Racism all across the company as they are against people from developing countries and treat them badly. Pay them badly and don't prefer them for senior roles even though they are skilled and perform well 6) Limited growth if you are working anywhere except Bangkok 7) Salaries are the worst in online travel industry and they base salaries on your age and not on your skills and performance. 8) Your ideas are never welcome in this company. One bad move and you are gone. They put you on notice. 9) Lacks a dynamic CEO, change is needed but Priceline.com doesn't care as they are more focused on b.com 10) No clear goal or vision. Change strategy every day
