Interview
First a brief call from an IT recruiter to see what my motivations are for applying and my expectation of the position. Then a technical phone interview where two not very difficult programming problems are given. Also, this second round has four programming tasks that you should do online at any time that is convenient to you, but it is timed once you start. In the third round you get invited to go to Amsterdam for the final interviews.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Booking.com (Amsterdam) in Jul 2015
Interview
Recruiter got in contact via email a bit over a month after I applied for the position. After a brief phone conversation we scheduled a technical interview. Before the interview, I was given four programming questions and asked to submit my answers on a collaborative text editor. The technical interview involved more questions on their online platform. The interview was awkward, with only one interviewer ever speaking and a lot of silence. I heard back two days later via email that they wouldn't be inviting me to an interview in Amsterdam.
