Me postulé en línea. Acudí a una entrevista en Booking.com (Ámsterdam) en ago 2017
Entrevista
First step was a phone interview with a technical recruiter.
She was not a native English speaker, which I felt was an issue at times. There were things she was trying to find out but I got the impression she couldn't pose questions quite clearly.
More importantly, IMHO she was not knowledagable enough to be asking technical questions. She posed a use case question, and wasn't happy with the solution I provided (even though I have over a year's worth of experience successfully working on that same kind of problem). When she revealed what she was looking for, I tried explaining that due to basic statistical qualities that solution could easily lead to wrong results. That didn't work. I got a kiss off email the next day saying I lack the proper qualifications. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Interview process was solid and relevant. There were three rounds: one technical, one business case directly tied to the role, and one focused on company alignment. Most rounds included case studies, which tested problem solving approach along with technical knowledge. The conversations were clear and to the point. Main focus was on how you approach problems and whether that fits with the company values. Reading about the values and culture beforehand is important

Pregunta 1
Follow up questions from case study, questions about experimentation
30 mins phone screen with recruiter, next round will be with 2 data scientists and discuss on a business case. Seems like they did have some opinion on that question, it was not like a open discussion.
I talked with manager and recruiter. Some questions about personality and some about technical skills. Some were more difficult then others. The people were quitte nice. But a lot of competition
