"Being a scientist means nurturing a mindset of exploration, curiosity, and evidence-based decision-making. We approach challenges with an eagerness to understand, experiment, and analyze objectively, rather than relying on mere intuition. In our team, we constantly experiment with new ideas, whether we’re engaging with students through our Campus Recruiting program or fine-tuning our Employee Referrals and Internal Mobility initiatives within Agoda." Trish Lowe, Senior Manager of University & Recruitment Programs. "Be a scientist, experiment and measure" is one of our core company values.

Last month, a team of 25 Agoda volunteers went to Koh Kerd, a local tourism community nestled along the Chao Phraya River in Ayutthaya, Thailand, to complete the project our colleagues started back in April. There, we dedicated the day to revamping the community’s social media presence and building a new flood-resistant community pier. Together with community members, we worked side by side, assembling, drilling, hammering, sanding, and varnishing wood planks to build the pier on top of the foundation laid back in April. This is part of our Community-Based Tourism Support Initiative. Read more about it here: ago-da.co/kohkerd-li #lifeatagoda

“Own your career growth! Learn something today that will help you in the future. I joined Agoda in 2017 as a Payroll Data Management Supervisor, and in 2019, I got promoted to Payroll Data Management Manager. During that time, I was also a Compliance and Ethics ambassador for the People Team, which paved the way for my current role as a Senior IT Compliance Specialist in IT-GRC. Over the past three years, I’ve supported compliance to IT SOX audits and taken on the challenge of managing Agoda’s Annual Business Continuity Management. I’ve always enjoyed a challenge, transitioning to a new department and working style was exciting and scary for me, especially since I didn’t initially speak the IT language. However, I’ve reminded myself that whatever I had learned was all on the job when I first started in HR. With time management, dedication, and patience, I was able to adapt and excel in my new role. Moving from the People team to Tech has made me more adaptable, resilient, and creative in problem-solving. It also expanded my network and given me a more holistic view of Agoda and our people. I’ve seen a lot of successful internal career moves here. I think it’s because we like to experiment!” Jeena Marie Balagtas (she/her) is a Senior IT Compliance Specialist at Agoda.

"Joining Agoda as a Security Engineer was a pivotal step in my career. I was drawn to Agoda’s reputation for innovation and its commitment to leveraging cutting-edge technology to enhance security measures. The company’s global presence and diverse tech ecosystem offered a unique opportunity to address security challenges on a large scale — precisely the kind of environment where I aspired to thrive. At Agoda, our cybersecurity strategy is centered around a multi-layered defense approach. We implement a variety of protective measures, including firewalls, intrusion detection systems, advanced malware protection, DNS security, and browser security to safeguard our network and assets from threats. To stay ahead of potential risks, we conduct regular security assessments and audits, which are essential for identifying and mitigating vulnerabilities early on. Additionally, we enforce strict access controls based on the principle of least privilege, ensuring that everyone only has access to the resources necessary to perform their duties" - Karthick Gopalakrishnan, Staff Cybersecurity Engineer at Agoda 👉 Learn more about the life of a Security Engineer at Agoda in our blog: https://ago-da.co/4eGy92s #techatagoda #lifeatagoda
