I applied in-person. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Expedia Group (Dublin, Dublin) in Mar 2018
Interview
I received a response within a week of applying for the role inviting me to do a telephone interview. The telephone interview was a pleasant experience in which I was asked about my experience and general questions relating to the role description. I was then told at the end of the call that I would be forwarded to do a face-to-face interview in the Expedia Ireland office. I was allowed the opportunity to select a suitable time. The interview was fairly standard with an emphasis towards competency based questions. At the end of the interview I felt happy with how it had gone and was told that I should hear by the end of that week. When I hadn't heard anything after a week, I emailed the recruiter asking if there was anything else they needed etc. I was informed that the process would now take a little longer as they were interviewing internal candidates. Three weeks passed and I still have not received any feedback or even a rejection from Expedia. I feel very disappointed that they would treat a candidate this way, after taking the time to prepare for the interview and then taking the time off work to attend. It has been a very negative experience and I would suggest to others not to bother applying for a job with this company.

What would you do if a hotel manager told you they no longer had the budget to work with Expedia?
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Expedia Group (Bellevue, WA) in Feb 2018
Interview
The process was straight forward and managed w/o a flaw. The recruitment team did an outstanding job at making it as seamless as possible and had top notch customer service. However, the onsite interviews with several of the folks selected to interview me were terrible. None of them were prepared in advance, came into interview and reviewed my resume for the first time, made it seem like the interview was a disruption to their day and just something they had to do instead of being invested in finding the perfect fit for their team and organization .. two folks told me they werent sure why they were chosen to interview me bc they have no idea what the role is all about, they're developers and only interview developers. They asked very technical development and test type questions that have no significance to the job description/role, then badgered me to explain in more depth and kept asking the same questions over and over making it feel like an interrogation where I got nervous and very uncomfortable . 1 interviewer was focusing on a role i held over 15 years ago, expecting me to remember all the very specialized technical details of this role, that again had nothing to do with the job I was interviewing for. When I was able to recall most of the details and provided a 'satisfactory' answer, the interviewer stated "oh, i guess you do know what your talking about" in a joking way, as if his interrogation tactic was funny. That was it for me.. They were on strike 3 at that point w/ me.
This company/team/role were my #1 out of 5 I was considering and in the final interview stage with. After the interviews, I no longer want to work with their team if this is how they conduct themselves around their candidates. I was disappointed to say the least. But grateful I had the opportunity to meet these potential co-workers before I accepted the role!
