      Product Owner Interview

      20 July 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Amsterdam
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Booking.com (Amsterdam) in July 2016

      Interview

      I applied via website. In 2 weeks their recruiter followed-up and proposed to arrange a call. During the call was asked formal questions about current job functions, what product I am most proud of and why, do I have an experience in managing cross-functional team and so on. In a week got another call with two POs. Theyэму been asking me a lot of questions regarding products that I own, how to choose the right KPIs, who to prioritization of task and features, how do run AB-testing, what tools do I use (internal and external) for ABs, asked for an example of recent AB-tests. In 5 working days I got a verdict from HR, that I passed and they want face-2-face interview in Amsterdam. In one more week I was there, sitting in a tiny conference room. Before going to Amsterdam you should prepare a test case in for of presentation. Interview in Amsterdam consist of 4 part, each part lasts 1 hour. Firstly, you have interview with HR, then goes an interview with 2 senior managers when you have to defend you case. After that you have another interview with 2 POs which ask questions mainly on Ab-testing and some situational questions. This is where I failed badly. All questions where very theoretical. Going further, another recruiter takes you to an excursion around the office (kitchen, office spaces, patio, etc). Finally, there should be an hour with another senior manager (probably VP) where he gives you a case to solve.

      Interview questions [5]

      Question 1

      How to calculate time for AB test to show significant results? What will you do if another PO wants to start AB test for the part of the product which is currently under your AB testing? What will you do in first 2 weeks given a developer, designer and data analytic? What have you carried out of job in the last 6 months? Why do you company employs globally? Will you do localized features for all countries? Should you run AB-test globally or for each separate country?

      Product Owner Interview

      6 Feb 2019
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Amsterdam
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Booking.com (Amsterdam) in Feb 2019

      Interview

      I have applied online for position of product owner infrastructure through their website. After some days I have received email from recruiter saying that my profile has been shortlisted and they want to connect with me. I had initial discussion with HR and after a week I have asked for update upon which she said that my profile has been shortlisted. After that there was interview with 2 product owners for about 50 min. After this this round I got a call from HR saying that they want to move ahead and invite me to amsterdam for interview. After 2 days HR calls and says that, their higher management feels now that I don't have enough product experience(4 years in product + 2 years in development) and so they do not want to move ahead with me. These guys are very confused while arranging for an interview. They wasted my late night hours for 3 round of interview and until then my experience was all good. All of a sudden they feel its is less. Too much of miscommunication and lack of interest in taking candidate interviews. Also my second round was rescheduled at last moment by informing half hour ealier. They are not serious about candidates and interview and just waste time. Highly unprofessional and not recommended. By now if the actual recruiter reads this then she will surely understand, who has written the review.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Mostly about my profile, how do I prioritize things and my approach

      Product Owner Interview

      New Delhi
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I interviewed at Booking.com (New Delhi)

      Interview

      Applied through the website and got a revert from the hr in 2 days. 1st screening by the technology recruiter was scheduled after 5 days, on a Tuesday. Got the call from hr 20 mins after the decided time. The questions were regarding the products I've handled, metrics, prioritisation, few examples where I performed ab tests and why I want to join Booking. Hr also discussed about the timelines of process, and the different rounds that'll happen. It was a pretty decent interview and I answered all the points well. The hr told that she'll be back latest by Friday regarding the next steps. I sent a mail on Friday evening about the next steps, as I wanted to utilise the weekend for the preparation for the next round. Got an auto-reply mail after an hour that they wouldn't continue with the process. No reasons stated for not continuing and no response provided as well. I'm still not sure what was the reason behind not continuing with the candidature.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1
