Interview questions [1]
Question 1
The technical interview is Python only. In general not hard. First part is some Python coding with three sections. There is a second part which also has 3 parts but its about data aggregation and computing insight
Remote test, call with hr, followed by live coding session with fellow engineers, didn't make it further but good luck with the steps. Questions were not hard, I stressed too much
I applied online. I interviewed at Booking.com (Amsterdam)
