Celebrating and collaborating at Agoda Budapest
We believe that a thriving workplace starts with building a supportive community. Our Budapest team embodies this philosophy with fun happenings that bring Agodans together.
These include team-building activities, creative events like carnival mask-making and pottery sessions, and simple joys like Valentine’s Day card exchanges. Our events are more than breaks from our day-to-day; they’re opportunities to connect as a team.
In addition to quarterly team lunches and dinners, our office breakfasts add a flavorful start to our Work from Office weeks, fostering camaraderie over coffee and pastries.
Our annual outdoor sports event sees the team bringing out our competitive spirit. And it wouldn’t be Agoda without our yearly staff party, also known as Agodafest, where the year’s hard work culminates in celebrating our achievements, our culture, and, most importantly, our people.
But our sense of community goes beyond celebrations. It extends to the heart of Budapest through our volunteer work animal shelters and community clean-up initiatives, where we give back to the city that gives us so much.
