Not a good company to work with

Pros

some nice people amongst current and former employees.

Cons

I think Agoda really needs to re-structure the way the team in the London office is managed and should take a deep look on how employees are treated. Some managers consistently apply favouritism to their decisions and promotions at the expense of much capable individuals. There is also a bad and negative atmosphere in the office due to employees being extremely unhappy with their roles, bosses and day to day tasks. I don't know anyone who actually enjoys the company and Friday lunches are just an excuse to complain about management and colleagues. Employees do not have good benefits, pension is just the minimum 1% requirement by law. Agoda has waited until the very last moment it was legally possible before adding a private pension to its offering - this should be an eye opener.

Pros

You'll get free bananas! And apples! Both red and green. But only once in two weeks, because there are budget concerns.

Cons

- massive micromanagement - unethical, deceptive, almost criminal behavior wit employee reviews - low level colleges and technical managers (all the good guys are leaving) - not updated technology, low code standards, nobody care - secrets with all matters, bad visibility to employee - no trust in employees - feels like masters and slaves don't work here. don't do that to yourself. there are many other competitive options. it's just a terrible environment.

Pros

Some great people, absolutely loved to work with them!

Cons

Mobile Team Review: Frustrating management that do not enable but rather blame to an extend where people avoid meetings with certain meetings. There is no culture of knowledge sharing or collaboration. Managers here rather delegate tasks they come up with themselves instead having broader discussions. The resulting pull requests are usually merged without the knowledge of the broader team. If you come up with own improvements they are usually down talked or it is argued that they do not bring business value. Until this day there has been no meeting, discussion or any other session by the management to explain how business value is defined and how it can be delivered, instead suggestions or even done work is simply down played or rejected. It happened not once that meetings completely derail, change topic or someone got roasted. All of this might apply to you in milder form if you are a Russian speaker. It certainly helps to get promoted. That might also help you to understand some of the management style and some of your team mates that regularly speak Russian with each other. There is a clear segmentation in the team by language/culture that that is in favour of Russians to a point where it is uncomfortable. I just would love to know all this things before I signed up and before I saw a lot of beloved and talented developers departing from the team. Don't get me wrong it's not all that bad - you just have to like managers that tells you: "Ideas are nothing" or who see all solutions as "nothing magical".
