A recruiter contacted me and because it was such a big company, I decided to give it a go anyway, although I'm a Web Designer. First interview was with the recruiter who then passed my CV to the people at booking. After they said they liked it, we scheduled a phone interview. The phone interview was about 1 hour, it was with a team leader and a product owner. We went over my background and my skills in the first part and then we went straight into the 'technical' stuff. I'll make a list here of everything we went through: 1. What's the work flow I follow when designing a website 2. They asked me to pick a website from my portfolio and explain how I did everything and WHY. Very important, each time you talk about some project or anything related to a project they will ask the following questions: WHY did you do that? WHAT impact did it have? and HOW did you measure the impact? 3. They asked me to tell them 2 changes I would do to booking.com. The recruiter told me about this from the beginning so I could prepare. Don't think big, make small, incremental changes... And again, don't forget, they will ask you the 3 questions... WHY do that? WHAT impact will it have? and HOW can you measure that? 4. We went into a live coding test, HTML/CSS. Here they asked me to code a form with some required fields. After that they told me to center it on the page and then apply some styles to it. Margin, padding, borders... simple stuff. 5. Another skill test was that they gave me this piece of code: <div id="test" class="testclass" style="border: 1px solid #000;"></div>. Here they just wanted to see if I know which style would be the strongest, id, class or inline. After that I had some questions for them and that was that. In about 1 week they said they very much enjoyed the talks and wanted me to fly to Amsterdam for a face to face interview. They booked the flight and hotel for 3 nights and 1 week later I was there. I've had 3 interviews here, each about 70 minutes. 1. HR Interview - we went through my CV, why did I move from company to company, how am I feeling about moving to Amsterdam... typical HR interview and after that they explain the relocation package. Which is if they hire you, they basically pay for everything you need to get there (plane, moving company, agency to look for an apartment and some cash). 2. UX Interview - this one was with 2 designers from their team - it was basically an extended version of the phone interview but no live coding. - on the skill test they concentrated on positioning elements, that's about it, nothing complicated 3. Design challenge interview - with a team leader and a product owner - they asked me to redesign the ATM - they will ask a lot of questions, be sure to be prepared, ask them a lot of questions also - don't forget about the 3 questions WHY? WHAT? and HOW? After about 3 days they came back with an answer which I was expecting since I don't have such a big commercial background. They said I have very good technical skills, a good eye for design but I lack the commercial aspect they needed. Overall it was an awesome experience talking to the people at booking and as far as I could see, it's a great company to work for with decent salaries. Keep it up Booking!
