I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Booking.com in Nov 2022
Interview
There were four rounds which took about 3 months to complete (from the moment I applied until the job offer): Recruiter - rather informal chat with the recruiter about motivation, experience etc. Life coding - A Hackerrank life coding session (1hr) with two engineers. They were quite helpful. Don't expect any help from the editor you have to use, glorified notepad. They left the session open for another hour so I built the complete solution after the interview which was highly appreciated. System Design - With two different engineers. Also quite helpful. Engineering Manager (direct manager) - About the team, culture, functional description of the things they are working on. Also a couple of STAR interview questions: how do you behave in different situations, what are the things you are proud of, etc.

Interview
first interview - HR
second interview - leetcode style
third interview - design (didn't pass it). recruiter was very kind (I have to reschedule few times and she handle it respectfully)
leetcode was not trivial but went ok. the design interview didn't went well, i could not get the feedback from the interviewer during the interview he was not comunicating
