I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Booking.com in Mar 2017
Interview
The first step was a task - answering three questions about how i see the platform and what improvements could be made to it to make the user experience better.
The next step was a screening call from a recruiter, which lasted around 30 minutes and included general questions about myself and how I deal with different situations, but mostly around collaboration with colleagues and teamwork.
The last step was a face to face interview at the local office I was going to be based at with my direct manager joining via video call as she was based in a different country.

Question 1
Best question I got asked was at the end of the interview - how did you think you did? Do you think you ruined some answers?
I applied online. I interviewed at Booking.com (Berlin) in Dec 2015
Interview
A rigorous, impersonal, lengthy process that was both disheartening and dehumanizing. After completing two editing tests and enduring evangelizing videos proclaiming how fabulous the company is, I interviewed with two people who seemed to have made their decision about me from the moment they shook my hand.

Question 1
Why do you want to go from freelance to full-time work in an office?
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Booking.com
Interview
I was contacted by the recruiter and asked to submit links to my portfolio. I was told it could take up to 3 days to hear back from her and that I shouldn't hesitate to contact her with any questions.
I never heard back from her even though I sent several emails for feedback. This seems to be a trend this days unfortunately. It makes the company looks very bad though
