If you are coming from a flexible tech companies prepare to hate this place in a few months.
It used a great place to work but all the management is changed and now it a full of non techies running the show.
Expect things like super strict work timings, 8 hours excluding lunch hours.
Working from home is a luxury only available when your house is on fire or be prepared to be scrutinized. They don’t believe in people doing their best work at different hours. Very tight on these as of end of year 2017 and made it super hard to work. You will find many of your colleagues complaining and planning to leaving soon.
mostly micro management from middle management is driving this place to the ground. Soon this is turning from tech company to an online sales front.
There are no such thing as perks for working here. The bonus is heavily dependent on you reviews and this is controlled by the manager in your team, so guess how that goes if you step on the wrong toe or stand for your rights! Not even lunch is free, it’s from your salary!
The tech stack is not something I want to get into, read other reviews.
The pay isn’t competitive in any way with companies of the same scale. Tax is huge if you don’t get 30percent ruling. Even then there are taxes on house you rent and many others not mentioned anywhere. It’s upwards of 150EUR each bill you get from your first pay check.
You DONT get insurance from Booking.com so expect to pay minimum 100 EURO per person in your family. This price increases exponentially with benefits you add like dental, maternity etc. Also expect at least 350 EUR needs to be covered by you every year even if you have insurance on your medical bill.
