Pros

nothing nothing nothing nothing nothing

Cons

Testing profile is not good in this company, need to start all things from scratch, no proper stack, team is operating on all different tech stack which are not much valuable, they have their own created bot for automation & also company is far located in goregoan for which travelling is way difficult if you come by public travel. Too many meetings and no time to eat food sometimes, the meetings gets streched on night after 9,sometimes till 10-11, I would not recommend this company to qa automation engineer as to recommend to learn java , front end automation, rest api , company welcomes in very good maner but company is not so good

We are always looking for ways to innovate and improve, so we appreciate you taking the time to write out your feedback. It is our desire to innovate and continuously improve that led to creating our QA team in Mumbai - to build and evolve our testing capabilities. We looked for candidates that wanted to be a part of creating something new and value added to our business. It is disappointing to hear, therefore, that the content of the work was not appealing to you. At Priceline, we value work/life balance for our employees. It is critical for employees to have time to renew and recharge. Our work hours in Mumbai are communicated during both the interview and the offer process to ensure expectations are clear. Our core hours (11am - 8pm or noon - 9pm Mumbai time) are typical for many local companies with significant operations in the United States. The goal is to allow for some overlap between the two time zones. As with any role, overtime is sometimes required in order to meet business needs. It is certainly our goal to minimize overtime. We have been working remotely since the onset of the pandemic and will continue to do so until it is safe to return to the office. The location of our office is clear at the time of the offer. It is our hope that you have found a company with the hours, location and work content that best suits your needs. Wishing you the best in all of your future endeavors!

Pros

- Back to office minimum is 2 days a week which in NY is very good - Solid and stable company, lean and profitable in Booking Holdings - Opportunity to work on many topics - Good culture amongst peers and colleagues. I've found people very helpful and collaborative. - daily catered lunch in office

Cons

- Being lean means prioritizing ruthlessly, so sometimes initiatives will have to go the backlog - I did find that a lot of people take on more than their JD (there's amazing accountability), which also means that people can be very busy.

Thanks for the thoughtful review! We’re glad to hear you’re enjoying the flexibility of our hybrid model, the collaborative culture, and the opportunity to work across a broad range of projects. You’re right that we operate with a lean approach - it’s something we monitor closely to make sure teams have what they need to succeed. We ask teams to stay focused on the work that will have the biggest impact, and that sometimes means making tough prioritization decisions. If day-to-day priorities ever feel unclear, we encourage employees to partner with their Manager to help align on focus areas and impact. Thanks again for the feedback and for being part of the Priceline team!

Pros

The working staff is tremendous, collegial and collaborative. While there are always going to be a few self-important jerks gumming things up, most people work really hard to push through them and make the working environment positive. Most line and mid-level managers work hard to help employees succeed. Team and individual successes are celebrated

Cons

Too many projects and not enough people to build, test and support them all. Staff is spread thin. Many projects seem to be pet projects of certain people, without clear business outcomes that improve revenue/sales. Prioritization requires resource decisions and that's been challenging. There's been a leadership change and that will help so long as the new leadership prioritizes what's important and moves people into the high-impact areas. I think the new CEO has a chance to be a great one!
