I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Agoda (Kuala Lumpur) in Sep 2023
Interview
My journey through Agoda's interview process had its highlights and some areas for improvement. Right from the beginning, Agoda impressed me with its structured interview process. They provided detailed information about what to expect at each stage, which helped me prepare effectively. However, one aspect that stood out was the level of eye contact during interviews. It's something I personally value, and I noticed it was a bit lacking. It could make candidates like me feel more at ease and engaged in the conversations. Lastly, after the interviews, I did experience a slight communication gap. It would have been nice to receive regular updates on where I stood in the hiring process. In essence, while Agoda's interview process is well-structured, enhancing aspects related to eye contact and communication could make it an even more candidate-friendly experience.

I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Agoda (Bangkok) in Sep 2023
Interview
The first step was pre-assessment coding exercise online. It had 3 quite tricky questions and 5 hour time limit. Then there was two online interviews; one more technical with Data Science manager and second more like manager interview. In the first round the interviewer asked questions about my past experiences and then there was one simple probability exercise and one programming exercise. I did struggle on the first probability question and then we run out of time just before I was about to finish the programming exercise. In the end I wasn't invited to the second round. However the interview process was nice and totally doable.
