TL;DR:
Working at Agoda could be a big boost to your career or could be a standstill. It really depends on what team or project you work with. The company has been recruiting heavily over the past few years, and they cannot manage to keep the same practice or culture across the company. Agoda's vision is to move fast and to be a leading accommodation booking platform. However, it's really hard to collaborate among teams when the company gets very big, and everyone just cares about getting their work done rather than the company's best interest.
Like others have already said, a lot of people have potential, but management has to try to bring the best out of everyone. They should probably start over.
A brief discussion about previous jobs and responsibilities, followed by a technical interview. The interviewer is helpful, prompting and occasionally giving hints if you get stuck, almost like a discussion.
Three rounds with the department and one with HR. We then discussed relocation arrangements, including salary package, insurance, annual leave, and other similar matters. It never ends, right?
A technical interview round with an engineer. It was with a single engineer, who seemed to have joined from home. The interviewer asked about Java internals, HashMaps, and HashMap collisions. There were also some questions around the JVM.
