I attended Booking.com Hackerrank assingment which has 4 questions and takes 75 min.
Two weeks later, while I was abroad, I got an email from them. Email was starting with "congratulations" . They were requesting 25min HR interview. I was abroad for vacation, on Monday morning I wrote my time frame according to the local time and I waited their call during the week.
On Friday I got called very early morning and eventually I missed the call. I replied back with email and mentioned that I am still interested in the role and that I will be back to my country next week, and again I wrote new available time frame according to my country's local time.
After that Booking.com never called me back even though I sent a reminder email.
It is very time consuming process, I think there are too many candidates like me, it is like a lotery and very disappointing.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Booking.com in Oct 2018
Interview
I applied through referral the process took 2 weeks
1- hackerrank test 4 easy - medium problem
2- HR phone interview I thought it’s easy because I applied before and go onsite but the recruiter wasn’t nice she called me late 10 minutes after I sent her email and she didn’t hear me well until she tried another phone. She asked me about projects I worked in and asked about if I know micro services and big data but this was new I don’t know that this thing is available in booking
I got rejected mail but I will apply again when I gain knowledge about the missing
Very straightforward process. Online coding test followed by a phone interview with a recruiter, a technical phone interview (coding) and 1 day of on site interviews (coding, system design, business awarness).
