Avoid booking.com. a mate of mine told me that their tech stack was like from Jurassic world. Dinosaur codebase. Crazy tech debt. No code review, and anyone can push directly to production. A huge mess that no one bothers to clean up outdated unused code.
That’s... interesting. Their KDD ML paper actually looks reasonable and was a worthwhile read. https://www.kdd.org/kdd2019/accepted-papers/view/150-successful-machine-learning-models-6-lessons-learned-at-booking.com
Priceline
Isn't that Booking.com now?
Yes, it’s the parent company
What are good teams/areas at Expedia?
Not so much the good wlb, but yes for everything else
