I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Booking.com in May 2022
Interview
Process starts off with a recruiter call and post that the actual interview process starts.
1) Coding Round
2) System Design Round
3) Culture/Value Fit Round
4) HM Round
The entire process was extremely well coordinated. My recruiter was very quick to respond and was clear with any feedbacks.
The interviews were great. The System Design Round felt like an interaction with someone on the team, rather than an interview. All the interviewers were really helpful and loved the entire process.

Interview
I had a short telephone intake with a recruiter. It was the second appointment as he/she forgot the first one. Both, the recruiter and the interviewers in the technical interview behaved rather arrogant.

Interviewers had bad accent due to which it was hard to understand them. They expected only fixed solutions known to them. Declined the offer after interacting with their interviewers.
