Our people’s perspectives

In my first months at Booking.com, I learned a lot about data-driven decision making and how to use the right data science methods. For example, I helped design experiments and apply causal inference methods. While it was challenging to grasp these topics in the beginning, my team and mentors were a great help throughout the graduate program.

With the guidance of my supportive team, I contributed to analyses that helped us understand user behavior across different regions and refine our language offerings to enhance the overall customer experience.
