Expedia Group SDE1 interview questions

I applied internally. I was originally scheduled to have four rounds of interviews, with two different managers and two other folks. I cleared all of them and hence was scheduled for a surprise fifth round with another manager. I perhaps cleared it as well as they proceeded to collect manager feedback after that. However, the process took too long for reasons unknown to me and after about a month or so, the hiring manager scheduled another (sixth) round of interview on work dynamics like asking me to give examples of situations where I had a conflict or difference of opinion with my manager or a team member, my motivators and de-motivators, my work philosophy, etc.. After this, I didn't hear anything from the recruiters or anyone involved in the process but surprisingly some people in my org. asked me about my last working day as their was a leak. Upon contacting the recruiter, I got to know that the hiring manager isn't inclined to make an offer because I wasn't available to work/collaborate in odd hours or early morning / late night hours. I had raised and discussed this with him that I'd be available only as per a pre-agreed upon schedule but this perhaps didn't go well with him. This, I think should have been clear from the very beginning of the process and not the very end. Ultimately, I didn't receive any official communication regarding my process and any feedback/reasons for the discontinuation, but ended up spending my so many hours of my time and people wrongly finding out about it. Poor recruitment process. The hiring people have no accountability to the applicants and don't even bother to respond to your applications.

Had applied for SDE1 position through Employee Referral. Got a call from HR on a potentially matching project. Will respect the NDA, so can not reveal exact questions. Here is an overview of the whole process and my experience. First Round - 1 hour Phone Screen, We talked on the role description, my interests and resume and then has 2 coding questions. One was a simple sorting question and another was related to Tree Data Structure. Second Round - An online Hireview round - 1 small HR question where I recorded the video response online. And has 4 coding questions (All pretty basic 1 DS, 3 Algo related out of which 1 was DP) Got the results from the second round in like a week, now the next stage was a Onsite Interview at their headquarter, Bellevue, WA. Had 5 rounds of interview, each 1 hour long. Onsite Round 1 (with Team Lead) - Get to know each other and discussion on projects. Then a coding question on String Problem. Onsite Round 2 (with Product Owner/Manager) - Mainly resume based, no technical question. Onsite Round 3 (with Senior Developer) - Resume and Position related, then a Design Question, and a simple sorting algorithm. Lunch Break of 30 mins. Onsite Round 4 (with Senior Developer) - Position and Resume based discussion, followed by some questions on Java Internals and a coding question related to String. Onsite Round 5 (with Team Manager) - Resume and Position based discussion. What I felt was they mainly test on how well you fit their project requirements based on your past experience and skill set. It is not that coding intensive and is comparatively easy. All questions are right out of text book. If one solves the Cracking the Coding Interview and are clear on the basics, they can clear the rounds with ease. Got the decision from HR regarding the hiring decision after Onsite in 3 days time. You can politely negotiate the Offer you get. Overall, it was a pretty good experience.
