Booking.com - Amsterdam(Netherlands), Shanghai (China), Seattle, WA (USA), ONSITE Full-time, relocation to Amsterdam, (H1B or its dutch equivalent anyway) is taken care of by the company. General Interview Process -> Hackerrank test, call with the recruiter, phone interview, onsite interviews I work at Booking.com, which is a world leader in travel accommodations, as a backend developer. I have only positive things to say about working here. The people are intelligent and helpful, interesting problems to solve and the work hours are unbelievably sane. The company is strongly data driven and very dynamic, which was one of its biggest charms for me. Amsterdam is not a bad place to be either :) The Dutch government also gives a tax break through the 30% ruling to non-dutch people.The work environment is very international and everybody speaks fluent English. The relocation process is also very finely tuned through years of experience of doing this. If you have any other questions about the company or the hiring process or you would like me to refer you, please feel free to send me an email at siddharthsarda01 at gmail.com (Email also in my profile at Hacker news). To have an idea of the kind of problems being solved here, you can also look at our dev blog:http://blog.booking.com/ http://blog.booking.com/ We are hiring for our headquarters office in Amsterdam: - Backend developers - http://grnh.se/g5n6oe http://grnh.se/g5n6oe - Frontend developers - http://grnh.se/cxmso8 http://grnh.se/cxmso8 - Product Owners in various departments - http://grnh.se/edvq2n http://grnh.se/edvq2n - Data analysts - http://grnh.se/al15kt http://grnh.se/al15kt - Data Scientist(Machine Learning) - http://grnh.se/5uxtdv http://grnh.se/5uxtdv - Android Developers - http://grnh.se/1bnljt http://grnh.se/1bnljt - UX Designer - http://grnh.se/e23axu http://grnh.se/e23axu - Mobile App Designer: http://grnh.se/kxvh8m http://grnh.se/kxvh8m

I went through the interview process at Booking.com and wanted to share salary expectations in case that is useful for others. As a senior engineer, the recruiter told me the range is between €60k-€65k depending on the level of experience. Also, it is important to note that much of the backend is written in Perl and the recruiter stressed that it would be absolutely necessary to be interested in writing a lot of Perl. They use Go, Python, and Java for some smaller parts of their stack.

  Is that 60-65k euros including benefits like bonus, pension etc? How is that salary in comparison to other senior engineer jobs in the same country? Having to write a lot of Perl sounds really cool!
