Amazing to work at such a large-scale company. So many talented people you can work with and learn from. Above-average market salary.
The company perks are not as good as you'd expect from a name such as Booking.com.
Teams mostly work in silos, so it's extremely difficult to get things done when multiple teams are required to do something.
Your work rarely has a big impact; we are small cogs in a huge machine.
Increase agility among teams and break down silos.
This was the first interview. In general, it was a relaxed conversation with in-depth moments. The main goals were to share information about the applicant and the company, and to see if there was a possible match. I liked the academic nuance, but
It took two to three weeks between the initial call and the live-coding interview. On the live coding, there were two engineers on the call. They were nice and appreciated my effort, even if the solution was not the best one.
- Recruiter’s Call: Motivation, recent experiences, etc. - Live Coding (1 Hour): Code on Hackerrank. No need to run and test the code. - System Design and monitoring (75 minutes) - Cultural Fit (1 Hour): This round was super weird.
