      Software Development Engineer Interview

      Sep 8, 2017
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Booking.com in Aug 2017

      Interview

      Initially they gave job posting titling " Backend Developer, Open Source at Booking.com" and the job description never mentioned about Perl programming requirement as a must. First round, I was given a HackerRank coding challenge. I was said that I cleared the challenge and was arranged a telephonic with HR to discuss the role. In the telephonic they discussed my experience and also said to me about work culture at booking.com. Then after 2 days, I got a mail saying that I was not selected for further interview rounds as I don't have Perl programming experience. I was completely surprised with the outcome. I have few questions to them 1) Was my CV not enough to know that I have no Perl development experience? 2) Why was I invited to take a coding test and why did you say that I cleared it? Have some professionalism and most importantly common sense. Have clarity on job requirement. Please don't waste time of others like this.

      Nothing as there was no technical interview itself.
