I had less then pleasant experiences with Booking and Uber - not to mention that Uber doesn't have the best reputation globally. I'm interested if you speak from experience.
Add EY to that list. It is not known but EY does a lotof software development these days, and in fact, my team has two job openings. There are a lot of career opportunities and the benefits are very good.

Good luck buying a place in Amsterdam ...

also the 30% rule, which is a huge plus and one of the reasons I decided to move here :D
Marktplaats is an eBay company ;)
