Interview questions [1]
Question 1
How would you estimate the star-rating of a hotel that does not have an official star rating?
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Booking.com
Interview
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
Interview questions [1]
Question 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
