Booking.com | New Grad | Interview Experience

Application
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Booking.com in Mar 2022

Interview

1. Online Hackerrank Test
2. (20 min) Phone Interview (Behavioural)
3. 2 rounds (30 - 45 minutes each) of final interviews at different dates (behavioral + dive into past technical projects and internships) (1 with Senior Software Engineer + 1 with Engineering Manager)

The whole recruitment process was really smooth. The whole process took about a month, but it would have been quicker if I didn't have any other interviews.

The recruiter handling my application was really helpful at all times during the whole process. She reached out one to two days after each round to find out how my interview went and how my experience was. The results from each round were delivered within 3-5 days.

I originally applied for the role based in Amsterdam. However, the recruiter mentioned exciting developments happening in Manchester at the moment, and I accepted a switch.
