I attended the Booking.com HackerRank assessment, which had four questions and a 75-minute time limit.

Two weeks later, while I was abroad, I received an email from them. The email started with "Congratulations" and requested a 25-minute HR interview.

I was on vacation abroad. On Monday morning, I provided my availability according to the local time and waited for their call during the week.

On Friday, I received a call very early in the morning but unfortunately missed it. I replied by email, mentioning that I was still interested in the role and would be back in my country the following week. I again provided a new availability timeframe according to my country's local time.

After that, Booking.com never called me back, even though I sent a reminder email.

It's a very time-consuming process. I believe there are too many candidates like me; it feels like a lottery and is very disappointing.

Your motivation for the role.
