I applied online. The process took 5 days. I interviewed at Booking.com (Ámsterdam) in Nov 2019
Interview
Lengthy and solid.
But there were several drawbacks:
- the engineers doing the technical interviews should be handpicked to be ones with solid communication and social skills, as some of them were quite awkward and grumpy and do not put candidates at ease.
- you go through 3 rounds of coding exercises and if you perform perfectly in two out of three, all of the results are just discarded. (apparently that means you don't know how to code)
- the scheduling was all over the place, and there was a lack of communication (interviews rescheduled last minute and at odd times)
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Booking.com (Toronto, ON) in Oct 2025
Interview
Completed an initial phone screen with an HR representative where we discussed the role responsibilities, team structure, company culture, and walked through the full interview process and expected next steps.

Interview
first interview - HR
second interview - leetcode style
third interview - design (didn't pass it). recruiter was very kind (I have to reschedule few times and she handle it respectfully)
