      Search Engine Scientist Interview

      18 Apr 2014
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1+ week. I interviewed at Booking.com in Apr 2014

      Interview

      I applied for the position online and got an email 3 days later to schedule a phone call with HR and a phone screening. The email was actually a copy/paste of a similar email they had sent to another candidate, except that they forgot to remove the thread so I was able to see the name, telephone/email and all the details of the other candidate - in the US you would get sued for less than that. I had the 30 minutes HR phone interview, where I was asked the usual questions. Then a couple of days later the technical phone interview, where they explained what the position entailed and asked me questions about my experience and competency-based questions. They concluded by saying that I would receive feedback on the following Monday. I never received any feedback from them. So here is a company who cannot even be bothered to send a simple email saying "Dear X, thank you for taking the time to meet with us but your profile doesn't match... etc.)". This is about as disrespectful as it gets. So in conclusion: in my experience, a rude and unprofessional company.
