Perks & Benefits

#companylife

We build and represent an innovative and market-leading software that you can shape with your own ideas and push forward continuously. We are all about Tours & Activities, which is the third-largest touristic sector after flights and hotels. This dynamic sector is full of fantastic customers and prospects who follow their passions, just like we do!

We encourage a very multinational company culture, through which you will work with the best in the industry. Join 100+ great colleagues from over 25 nationalities spanning the whole globe who are looking forward to meet you!

We are proud to foster a diverse, LGBTQ-friendly workplace, where you can come as you are and build your dreams upon your skills and motivation, regardless of colour, religion, gender, sexual orientation and any other factors.

We take your personal and professional development very seriously. Not only do we have a dedicated “Personal Development Budget” (see below), we also offer many other opportunities to grow through exposure to new ideas and industry expertise. For example, once a month we host “bookingkit on Exchange”, a company-wide event in which we invite partners, clients or high-profile speakers to address a wide range of topics, which we accompany with food, drink and a cosy atmosphere.

We know that, in order to succeed as a SaaS company, we have to stay on top of tech changes and industry trends. For this reason we host “bookingkit university” once a month, during which our product & development team present the latest features, practical use tips and how to communicate them to our customers and prospects!

#officelife

Our headquarters is located in the heart of the European capital for digital startups, Berlin, right next to the Spree River in the vibrant district of Neukölln, and can be reached easily thanks to direct access to the most well-connected public transport line (“S-Bahn, Ring S42/S41”). The office itself is a bright, open-concept loft which spans over +1000 square meters.

Exchange ideas within our inspiring environment and mingle with employees from other startups in the building, like Blinkist to Zattoo. We are also a pet-friendly company: If you want to bring your dog or cat… to work, we’re fine with it (so long as your fellow colleagues say “yes!” to your beloved friend).

Culinary Options

Enjoy a multitude of culinary options around the office, for all budgets and appetites! One of the most convenient options is our food truck around the corner which changes it’s selection on a daily basis. On the subject of food and drink, we make sure those who prefer eating in the office have everything they need, which is why we provide:

Fully-equipped kitchens where you can prepare a fresh lunch on the spot or simply bring lunch from home and heat it up.

Breakfast 24/7: Always in a rush in the mornings and no time for breakfast? No worries, we’ve got you covered: in our kitchen you will find various types of müsli and fresh fruits. Even if you’re not a breakfast person: you can have as much coffee, milk and plant-based alternatives as you like. Either way, you will have a fresh and energizing start every day!

Free lunch/dinner every second week (i.e. during the BBQ session and bookingkit on exchange)

Stay hydrated throughout the day, with:

non-alcoholic drinks (water, soft drinks, juices, coffee, tea…) always available

alcoholic drinks (beer, wine, cava) available at the end of the week.

Team Events

bookingkit was founded by a group of friends back in 2014 and this type of bond has been key to our success. Therefore, team spirit and gatherings play a major role for us bookingkids

- At bookingkit every season is barbecue season! Be it summer or winter, rain or shine. Once a month, our weber grill is set up in the courtyard and a different team hosts a barbecue & beer session for all bookingkids.

- Get2gether: Every first Friday of the month we celebrate the end of the week with friends and colleagues while discovering Neukölln’s bar scene!

Friday beers: The working week is over and hard work pays off: What better way to slide into the weekend than with a well-deserved beer or glass of wine!

- Team excursions: Tours & Activities is an exciting industry, composed of scape Games, Jump/trampoline Houses, Virtual Reality Games… you name it! As we like to mix work and leisure, we make it a point to keep up to date with the latest industry trends, while also taking part in some “field tests” ourselves!

- Office cinema: No plans for the evening? Great! Stay around and let’s transform the office into a cinema and enjoy a good movie, because who said that the projector screen is only designed for All-Hands meetings?

- Berlin Startup Soccer League: If you’re a star on the soccer field or simply an aficionado, join our bookingkit “Urban Sports Summer League” team and compete against other startup teams in Berlin!

Company run: We take part once a year in the official company run in Berlin with thousands of other participants – and what could be better than finish your run in Berlin’s Olympiastadion? Ah, and we usually hire a personal trainer to get in shape!

#personallife

Flexibility and comfort are key for a positive and productive office life, which is why our working hours are flexible and we make time for activities like playing pingpong, socializing, and enjoying a coffee, lunch or drink in the sunny, spacious courtyard. We even have a shower in our office for you to freshen up after a morning bicycle commute, a lunchtime run, or simply to wash up before your evening plans

Employee development budget: Allocate up to 1.000 EUR extra per year and 1 bonus day off for you personal development. We are always happy to coach and advise you if you’re not sure what you want to spend it on.

Personal career development plan: At bookingkit we like to know where we are headed: upwards! All bookingkids feel the same way, which is why we offer transparent development plans for all teams which outline all your possibilities to progress in your bookingkit career.

Flexible working hours: We at bookingkit know that everyone works and thrives differently, even when it comes to your daily routines. That’s why we have flexible working hours - because works should start when you’re ready and not when the clock hits 8 am.

Flexible Home Office days: For those occasions when the Kindergarten is on strike or you’re stuck at home waiting on the plumber, or maybe you just feel like your current project could use some inspiration outside of the office

Public transport subsidy (BVG ticket): From mid-2019 on we offer a generous subsidy for the Berlin public transport (BVG)! So you can afford to take the S-Bahn, U-Bahn, tram and buses throughout the month not worrying about the costs.
