I applied in-person. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Expedia Group (Helsinki, Southern Finland) in Aug 2020
Interview
I passed the initial questionaries and video tasks and they showed interest in my skills and profile. The first interview was scheduled in a co-working space but nobody was there to receive me. I called the contact person and was told to arrive at their office in the city center. I then had an interview with the Nordic region manager. The second interview was with the personnel of the local office, which included enactment of typical sales situations. They promised to let me know the result within 2 weeks during which I found out by other sources that the position was filled. They sent the official announcement that I was not selected, almost a year later.

Question 1
Act how you would convince me (the interviewer) to buy a mobile phone from you.
Three stages with three different people. They move pretty quickly which is nice. Typically all from the same department as well! They ask more thought provoking questions than job specific ones
There were 2 rounds of interviews. The first interview was a video recording where you had to answer a couple of open questions and the second one was an online interview with a person.
