I applied online. I interviewed at trivago (Düsseldorf) in Aug 2018
Interview
Applied online. They told me to do the the task and submit it one week. I asked for some clarification which was never answered. It was written to submit the initial task and then can be improved, however further submissions were not possible even before deadline. Again the HR woman told me to submit the task. I resubmitted with another email. After couple of weeks she sent me the same email to resubmit the task. After telling her that I already submitted she disappear again. After couple of weeks I asked about their decision, they said they hired another person. In short it was a total wastage of time. They never replied my emails and perhaps never check the source code because they were asking again again to submit the code which I already did. People are pretty lazy and always on holidays.

I applied online. After 2 weeks, they reached me for the first interview. Obviously, they asked me to provide my availability time slot before each interview.
All the interviews are done via Skype.
The hiring manager took the first interview. It was more like a behavioral interview. He asked some questions to get to know my work experience, expectation, and motivation to join trivago.
After 3-4 days, I asked to provide my available time slots for the coding interview.
Two software dev conducted the interview. The problem statement was not that hard. I solved it. Then, their test case failed for my solution. Then, I debugged my code and resolved it. After that, I was asked to write unit tests for my code.
They then asked questions about my notion towards development, my expected workplace, my process to implement a feature from beginning to end, etc.
3-4 days letters I received a rejection email stating that they were looking for a more senior candidate with more relevant work experience.
