I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Expedia Group (Seattle, WA) in Jul 2020
Interview
There are four rounds of interviews, including algorithms(two rounds), system design, and behavior questions.
The algorithm questions were medium-level, and I answered them using the typical strategy of analyzing, discussing, coding, and testing. The interviewers were friendly.

Question 1
Given an array of intervals where intervals[i] = [starti, endi], merge all overlapping intervals, and return an array of the non-overlapping intervals that cover all the intervals in the input.
One phone screen, up front, and the final round of interviews was four one-hour sessions. The two non-technical interviews were only 45 minutes. One was a coding question, and the other was a system design question.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you handled conflict in the workplace.
Process involves having two coding challenges to be solved which are medium in difficulty, problems where asked in terms of sliding window, HashMap based questions. And in system design I have asked my current projects and designing scheduler etc. Interview process was great but its little lengthy to recieve an offer.

Minimim meeting rooms required for person to attend give meeting schedules
I was contacted directly by a recruiter from the company about an open role. The first call went fine, and they mentioned there would be next steps. After that, nothing—no follow-up, no feedback, not even a rejection message. I followed up politely but got no response. It’s disappointing when companies don’t respect candidates’ time or close the loop after interviews.
