Got appointed for a second interview with HM after passing initial HR CV screening. When the interview started HM said he did not look at the CV before, as saying it did not fit what they were looking for. A bit of a waste of resources and time for both parties.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Why do you think you are a good match for this position?
I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Expedia Group (Madrid) in Sep 2025
Interview
4 interviews in 2 rounds, plus 2 recruiter screenings at the beginning of each round. The process was remote.
- First round: hiring manager interview (45 minutes) and hands-on technical exercise (60 minutes)
- Second round: behavioural interview (60 minutes and machine learning system design (60 minutes)
Interviews content was standard for these kind of processes. Really nice interviewers with collaborative positive attitude. However, expect a high bar on the company decision.
The experience was positive and received valuable feedback after the process.
