I applied online. I interviewed at Booking.com in Apr 2023
Interview
First interview was great with the potential future manager. I got asked for a second interview to meet another member of the team and this person was giving a very bad attitude from the beginning, asked vague questions and also spoke to me in a very demeaning way. Not sure what made him act this way, not sure if it was because I am a woman IT or in general he didn’t like me for some reason even though I never met or talked to this person before. Also he gave me information regarding the role that was controversial with what the manager said. But either way it’s unacceptable. I wouldn’t want to work as part of a team that includes people like him, with superiority complex.

I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Booking.com
Interview
Interview process was solid and relevant. There were three rounds: one technical, one business case directly tied to the role, and one focused on company alignment. Most rounds included case studies, which tested problem solving approach along with technical knowledge. The conversations were clear and to the point. Main focus was on how you approach problems and whether that fits with the company values. Reading about the values and culture beforehand is important
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Follow up questions from case study, questions about experimentation
30 mins phone screen with recruiter, next round will be with 2 data scientists and discuss on a business case. Seems like they did have some opinion on that question, it was not like a open discussion.
I talked with manager and recruiter. Some questions about personality and some about technical skills. Some were more difficult then others. The people were quitte nice. But a lot of competition
