I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Booking.com in Jan 2017
Interview
Got a call from the recruiter for a screening. We went through my CV and a few trivial questions (salary etc). When we were done he told me he would let me know in a few days. No-one ever called me back for any feedback and even when i sent an email there was no response. 2 months have passed since then...
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Booking.com (Amsterdam) in Jan 2017
Interview
- First round: interview with recruiter about product management and commercial awareness
- Second round: business case about my perspective on the future of travel and 2 A/B tests I'd like to run on Booking.com
- Third round: in-depth questions from 2 POs about my experience with product management and data collection and the two A/B tests I proposed in my business case
- Last round: on-site interviews in Amsterdam with 5 POs in 3 separate interviews. Took 4 hours in total.

I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Booking.com (Amsterdam) in Jan 2017
Interview
The interview process is handled in a really professional way. From the first contact (on LinkedIn) throughout the end.
It consisted in one screening interview with a recruiter via phone. Another technical interview by phone with two product owners.
Then half a day of interviews at the office in Amsterdam. At the office there was first a short talk with two recruiters, then two interviews (each with two different product owners). Then since they were positive they asked me to stay longer and I had an interview with the head of Product Owners
