Company culture and pay is great, few onshore colleagues are awesome and empathetic

Dislikes

Worst can happen if you are placed in horizontal teams. You can suffer if you are not getting into vertical teams Horizontal teams have the highest attrition and worse work life balance. Make sure you get the clarity of team you are joining in your last round of discussion.

Agoda fosters an amazing company culture however, you might get the shorter end of the stick basis your vertical and manager. While some teams have really supportive culture, verticals like TA is filled with managers who have become managers because they have been in the company since it's inception. Company also gives chance to relocate to it's many branches abroad and has some amazing events.

Dislikes

Salary is less than competitive, specially since the focus is on hiring expats. Work pressure is enormous. The culture you experience will depend purely on your team & manager. I have had both amazing and the worst experience in my tenure there. At the worst, my manager was manipulative and discouraging, and the leadership turned a deaf ear to it very conveniently.

Dislikes

... work culture. Extreme micromanagement. Management whom does not want to listen. Company that victimize their own staff for the sake of saving on bonus payments. Zero possibility of promotion .

Open door policy - can reach out to any manager.

Dislikes

...hemselves and are often competing with each other instead of working together. Low pay - Payscale in the IT sector in Thailand isn't high, so while Agoda pays more in comparison to companies in Thailand, companies in India and elsewhere pay more.
