I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Booking.com (Manchester, England) in Dec 2016
Interview
I applied for the company's graduate scheme, and after my online application I was contacted by a recruiter for a short phone screening. A few days after that, I was invited to attend an assessment day in Manchester. It consisted of two 45-minute long interviews plus a case study, and then 2 psychometric tests (numerical and logical reasoning). The first interviewer seemed uninterested and made me feel uncomfortable. Another thing which surprised me is that although they mentioned that travel expenses would be reimbursed, they did not do so and even did not reply to my e-mail asking about it. This is very unprofessional.

Interview
Firstly, we each sat a numerical test and a verbal reasoning test. The company then provided us lunch, after which we were each interviewed twice by two different pairs of people. We were then given a tour of the office and shown a presentation about the company.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
It was a fairly standard interview, getting to know you and various times you've displayed positive traits such as teamwork and leadership etc.
One of the 'wackier' questions was: How many windows are there in Manchester?
