Expedia Group interview questions

Probably one of the best interview experiences I've ever encountered. First phone screen was comfortable and natural. Encountered some delays in getting an interview schedule. I had to reach out to verify it was confirmed, etc. Given adequate info in my interview confirmation (i.e. parking, directions, dress code). Reception was busy and seemed rushed - not the best first impression. My interview loop was changed at the last minute, so my greeter was replaced with someone else. Loop was efficient and friendly - not intimidating which I think leads to more authentic representation of the person. No questions repeated - interviewers seemed to know not to overlap areas. One interviewer offered to show me around the work space so I could get a better feel for the office environment and explained the building layout - that was really nice. Loop consisted of 4 people, one via conference call.

I was referred to the hiring manager by a friend who was the hiring manager's boss. Probably for this reason, my phone screen was two simple questions: 1. What are your salary expectations and 2. When are you available to to come for an onsite interview? The onsite interview lasted about 4 hours. I met with the hiring manager, her boss, two senior members of the team that I would be managing, and a director of a group that would be the customers this team is serving. The process was very friendly - they want you the candidate to be comfortable in the interview and they may probe until they get the answer they are looking for. Most questions were of the type: "How would you handle X situation?" If you are an introvert, watch your body language. Some managers are trained to pay attention to nonverbal cues. The process is welcoming and friendly but don't let your guard down. They have very high hiring standards. Due to the unstructured nature of the questions, it's up to you to go beyond just answering the direct question and to sell yourself through memorable stories and making connections with the interviewers.
