Entretien
The process is divided into 5 steps:
1. Hackerrank tests: 3 questions and 90 minutes to solve them
2. HR call: friendly call where you discuss your motivation, why booking, why Amsterdam, etc.
After this call, I received an email to schedule the next interviews on the same day.
3. System Design Interview: Whiteboard interview with 2 colleagues where you are asked to design a part of the booking.com system.
4. Coding Interview: Live coding exercise alongside 2 Booking.com employees
After a couple of hours, I received an email to schedule the last interview.
5. Cultural Fit Interview: Questions about previous projects, ways of working, and Leadership principles.
I received an email with an offer 1 week after the final interview.

Entretien
I recently interviewed with Booking.com for a software engineer role. The process was well-organized and took about 3–4 weeks. It started with an online assessment on HackerRank with a couple of LeetCode medium problems. That was followed by a technical screen where I did live coding and discussed basic algorithms. The final round was a full day of back-to-back sessions: algorithmic coding, system design (something like designing a hotel availability checker), a behavioral round using STAR questions, and a chat with a manager about company values. The interviewers were professional and friendly, and the problems felt relevant to Booking's actual business. On the downside, some coding rounds felt repetitive, and I didn't get much feedback after being rejected. Overall, it was a fair but challenging process. My advice: practice medium-level array and hash map problems, review basic system design, and have solid STAR stories ready. I'd rate it 4 out of 5 stars and would recommend it to other engineers.
