I'm currently working on my CV, portfolio, and motivation letter so I can apply to Booking.com for the UX Designer position. I'm ok with the company having a bureaucratic environment; I survived nearly 13 years in the US military. If we could have fit in any more bureaucracy there, we would have made great honorary Volgons (H2G2 reference). Not to mention, the pay can't be any worse than my current pay for the same job. I always hear about how freelance work gives you more freedom, but in my experience working as part of a team is more conducive to an atmosphere of freedom. If hired, I'm sure I'll fit in just fine and I know I'll enjoy stable pay. Besides, moving me to Amsterdam is the best bonus Booking could possibly offer me.
On the flip side, it seems advertised positions aren't always open. Does anyone here know if the UX Designer positions are still open and if not, will any open up again soon? I'm also wondering what I should wear to an interview, if I do make it past the CV, portfolio, and letter stage.
