Booking.com Software Developer reviews

Software development is a constant battle here, no attempts at building quality software are made. Documentation is frowned upon. Refactoring doesn't happen. Everything is a quick fix. If it doesn't work throw it away and build something new. If any of these are a red flag for you you definitely shouldn't work here.

- Disappointing base salary compared to other tech companies, for juniors and seniors - Developers, sysadmins, DBAs, & network admins kept segregated - be prepared to file lots of tickets in JIRA - IT department in general, and sysadmins particularly, resist new technology - Lots of politics in some sections, and two-faced behavior from management - Dull and noisy office environment - some renovations have been done, but not enough - Bad allocation of hardware and developers - the company uses hindsight rather than foresight (strange when making so much money)
