I had a very bad experience with Expedia. I submitted my resume through a friend who got hired there. I received a call from them. The first telephonic interview went well, but I messed up my second round, so I was told 'no.' I accepted that.

But then, after 15 days, the HR called again for other rounds of interviews. This time, I had four back-to-back telephonic interviews in a week, each about 45-60 minutes long. Out of these four, two were taken by a product manager in Seattle on Skype. I was in the NCR region. After these four rounds, I was called for a face-to-face interview.

The face-to-face interview was a really bad, horrible, awful experience. I had an initial technical interview with two team members, which went well. Then they sent in the Director to interview me.

After a series of technical interviews for about three weeks, I thought this would be a relaxed round. I didn't expect the director to grill me technically after seven rounds already done. To my utter dismay, this turned out to be another technical round.

My mind was fully exhausted by now. I didn't even feel like answering. It was like, 'How much are you going to evaluate me?' After a series of about seven interviews, you're still grilling me. The director even went on record and said that my skills are still not that sharp.

In my mind, I thought, 'What were you evaluating me for until these rounds that now you're realizing my skills are not that sharp?'

Anyways, I would still like to mention all the repetitive questions I was asked over the several interviews.

.NET, SQL, Coded UI tool related:

• What are interfaces?
• What is operator overloading and method overloading?
• Abstract classes, virtual classes, and the difference between them.
• Questions related to .NET libraries, like how you would open a file (System.IO namespace and all).
• Exception handling.
• WCF services/proxy concepts.
• Coded UI tool concepts: object repository, recognizing an object.
• String reversal program.
• Simple insert/select/join queries.

Interviews with the product managers were mainly process-related or analytical:

• What are Agile and Scrum concepts?
• How would you test a travel website? What all scenarios?

The director also asked me questions that were too complex for me, such as Singleton classes and finding a card from a deck of cards.

This is all I can remember from the series of interviews that happened.
