I applied through an employee referral. The process took 8 months. I interviewed at Booking.com in Sep 2020
Interview
The most difficult ever. I think they improve the standard during this pandemic time. I solved 75% of the questions but I still failed.
First round is Hackerrank test, which is super easy.
Second round is phone screen, which is whiteboard interview on Coderpad. The questions themselves are easy but the interviewers asked many questions in deep. These questions are all unrelated to daily work, if you prepared, you can pass. Otherwise, you may fail.
