Speaking of Dutch companies, I think I may be getting a job offer as a Data Scientist from booking.com. Anyone working there? Is it a decent company to work for? Ok pay and relocation package (would be moving from Norht America)? Thanks.

I have NOT worked there, so I'm not speaking from personal experience, and it may be different for data scientists than for programmers. From what I hear in the tech scene here, they seem to be the place that programmers go when they want to just code for 8 hours and go home in the evening and get paid well for it, rather than this startup environment where they're expected to be involved in product decisions etc. I hope that helps a little and I hope others can share more insight.

I work at Booking.com - have been here for two years and I consider it to be one of the best jobs I've ever had (admittedly, my previous jobs weren't great). Great team of people and we get a lot of flexibility to choose how we want to work. Personally, as a father I also really appreciate the work/life balance here - there is zero pressure to work silly hours.

Search HN - you'll find at least one discussion between someone who's very positive and someone who's rather negative.
