I applied online. I interviewed at Booking.com (Nova Deli) in Aug 2017
Interview
It all started with a hackerrank test with 4 questions which I passed all with 100% result. Followed by HR interview then finally skype interview with 2 interviewers who ruined my interview. First of all their interviewers aren't able to speak english properly. It was really hard to understand them. They asked 1st question which I coded successfully but interviewers never engaged me in conversation which coding the solution as it seems they were in a hurry. Second problem statement wasn't well written and was hard to understand the question. They weren't able to answer my questions regarding problem statement and instead replied read the problem statement. They weren't communicating properly at all which resulted in bad solution to last problem and next day got rejected email. If this is the way you take interviews then better not to work for such company.

Interview
My friend applied for me as a software developer.

After that, the recruiter called me that I passed the first phase and asked me why I applied to booking and what I'm expecting and told me that there will be phone interview contain two problems and I will solve it in codepad the idea should be correct and will discuss about the complexity.
I passed this interview it was interesting the recruiter called me again and told me about the onsite interview. I get prepared for this step and study system design and solve problems, read in the data structure, She sent to me some useful links to look at.
I went to Amsterdam it was a great city to live in it.
The interview was 3 phases( algorithms and data structure, system design, culture fit)
The algorithm was an easy problem I found the optimal solution for it but will I'm talking they ask me some questions that I didn't know exactly the answer. The system design was good and it was my first time to know about system design. and I failed in the culture fit interview and that was a surprise for me.
But it was a great experience and I will apply again when it's available.
