I applied online. I interviewed at Booking.com (Brisbane) in Apr 2019
Interview
Brief phone interview with Singapore and then face to face in Australian office with 2 unqualified women who were dismissive and rude. Would never want to work for this company. Lost interest 1/3 way in as they were soooo rude.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
What do you know about us? Why would someone use our site, why would they not? What is the difference between a good boss and a not so good boss? and then a lot of questions about the business which is hard to know the answer to if you have not worked there. Although I did research the company some questions were a little ridiculous.
I interviewed at Booking.com (Manchester, England)
Interview
The process was lengthy and competitive. They ensure that you know what you are going into by sharing experiences. A great way to interview and set up potential employees for the future.

Question 1
What would you do in case of an upset customer on the phone
The selection process started with an assessment which is supposed to give a chance to show your practical skills in this particular role. The idea is great but the assessment itself was confusing, there was not enough time to answer all the questions properly and many questions were not even that relevant to the role.
If you manage to pass, you move to the interview stage which is the interview with a recruiter. I had a pretty relaxed interview with a lovely recruiter who said I left a positive impression and she will present my candidature to the next stage (which is an interview with the manager). However, at the end of the same day I received a message that they will not be moving forward with my application with no further feedback. A couple of weeks later I saw the role being reposted again.

Question 1
Mostly just asking about my career path and how my past experiences could be relevant to this role.
