Pros

Lots of opportunity to take responsibility. So a good place for motivated self-powered people whose engines run on getting stuff done and taking ownership. Also the site has lots of traffic and users from all over the world, so you feel gratified because there is really the chance to impact a lot of people. Level and time in company don't matter much when it comes to proposing ideas / pushing for a project, logic and data prevail which is good (but also tough if you are passionate about something that may not make business sense). Also there are a good amount of smart colleagues with strong business sense, so good for personal growth.

Cons

The environment isn't for everyone. Colleagues are direct, so you need to be confident and able to take frequent feedback and learn from it. We've been growing fast, so if flowing with changes isn't your thing and you like staying in a static team and getting comfy in it for a while, it may be hard. There is also lots of learning on the job and not a lot of hand holding.

Pros

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.

Cons

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.
