Graduate Developer Interview Experience - Manchester, United Kingdom
Process
I had applied for the graduate scheme.
Two weeks after applying, I received an invitation for a HackerRank test. It consisted of two easy and one medium LeetCode-style questions on arrays and data structures, and a system design question.
About a week later, I received an invitation for an HR screening round. This was a 30-minute call with one of the HR representatives, discussing my motivation, career aspirations, and what the company has to offer.
After this, the final 1-1 interview rounds were scheduled for around three weeks later (assessment centre).
On the interview day, three team members at various levels (senior developer, manager, senior manager) conducted 1-1 competency-based interviews, 30 minutes each.
After this, a group interview with three other candidates was held to discuss and create a strategy for a given problem.
After the interview, I received a call five days later with the offer.

Booking.com Work Experiences
- 5.0Good benefits, relaxed work environment, and young, talented peopleGraduate Developer • Current EmployeeManchester, England, United KingdomMay 4, 2021Pros: Fun, relaxed work environment, especially before Covid, with great benefits. A rotational grad scheme allows you to see different areas of the business. Some teams use some really cool tech and work on fun products. The company has great diversity.Cons: I think, as in every business, your mileage may vary depending on the team you end up in. Some are really cool, both people and technology-wise; others are not that great. More flexibility on remote working would have been nice in Covid times.
