I applied online. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Booking.com (Seattle, WA) in Dec 2014
Interview
Phone interview first. Seems like they check if you are good match for the position. I think showing your positive attitude is important.
1:1 interview and testing computer skill and language skills next including explanation of the work. This is the opportunity that you find out if you like the company. Again, showing positive attitude is a key.

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.
