Travelzoo interview questions

The interview process was a great experience with Travelzoo. They were very quick to get back with me throughout each step, and scheduled every phone call and interview promptly after the last one. I had 6 steps to the process starting with a written submission, followed by a phone call with HR in Chicago. I then met with who would be my direct manager for an in-person interview. This interview lasted the longest, almost an hour and a half. She asked me a lot of questions concerning my background and why I would be a good fit. I was asked the Starbucks question -- I think they are more interested in seeing the way you process information than arriving to the actual gross revenue of the company. I was then scheduled for a Skype interview with the Director of the department. This was a little intimidating as I have never done a Skype interview before, but doing even just a few minutes of research the night before helped me be better prepared. After the interview with the Director, I had an interview with the CEO of the company through Skype, and for my last interview they flew me to New York to meet with the Founder and CTO. Throughout the entire process I did a lot of research on all parties I was meeting with. I looked up their pictures so I could anticipate who I would be speaking with as well as their background information. I researched what kind of questions they have asked prior candidates, and I researched the product and the company background before every interview just to make sure I knew it backwards and forwards. I think the most important aspect to interviewing with this company is conveying in a concise but passionate manner why you want to work for Travelzoo. They want to see your love for travel and why you believe in their product.
