Priceline.com Reviews

Pros

THE PEOPLE by far! Additionally, Priceline has a Great Culture w/ excellent work life balance

Cons

None I can think of

Pros

Holiday/ cultural Parties. Norwalk Gym Access. Smart colleagues. Interesting projects depending on the department you're with. Lynda access. Okay health benefits. Transportation benefits. ie: train shuttle, MTA refund ext. WFH 2x per month (may be diff depending on mgr) 401k w/ 3 % match. Parental leave. Equity (depends on position)

Cons

Your mgr might take credit for your work. No career growth, no plan, not many promotions. Unless you're already a manager. Backed by Booking but lacks resources so you will wear many hats but deadline is expected to be met (this depends on if you're in a scrum team or not). Agile has been accommodated to fit Priceline so you may be in a team the supports multiple scrum teams/multiple projects. Reviews do not apply to managers. Very political and very much a 'boys club'. There are a couple of women in leadership positions which is great but not enough in the 'lower ranks' and that could be better specifically in Engineering.

Pros

Strong business outlook for the company as a whole. Good Benefits and decent time off (although no sick days policy was questionable).

Cons

Very hierarchical. Look out for backstabbing. Managers often not receptive to feedback. Innovation is requested but rarely supported or implemented. Still not sure what Priceline's differentiation is within other travel sites but being part of Booking Holdings helps.

Pros

It has been more than 5 years I'm working here. It is a great company. Work culture and benefits are fantastic. CEO knows what he is doing. Very good leadership team. You can easily get recognized by the leadership team if your work is good and if your manager is not taking credits for all your efforts. 

Cons

Payscale can get better. Living costs in Norwalk/Stamford area are pretty high due to its proximity to NYC.  I have heard of very bad things from Business teams(especially hotels). If you are joining for analytics, think twice. It is not a place to be. Many people who joined recently are trying to take credits for other's work and sustaining.  Hotels Business Head has no idea how to drive the business, what data we have, nor a vision for the team. He is just trying to cover up things. This team didn't need one more Project manager to micro-manage the team. Even though none of them are happy with this, no one is raising their voices because the dept head has warned them of adverse effects. (dirty politics)
