Interviewed Jan 2012 in New York, NY (took 6 weeks)
Applied online and was contacted by the HR after four days. I had a phone interview with him and was told that I'm gonna be called in a week. However it took 5 weeks when I was called for a f2f interview. There I met the HR and a senior manager. They were nice, overall I had a good impression.

Interviewed Sep 2011 in Amsterdam (Netherlands) (took 2 weeks)
First interview was by phone with 2 techies, they talk a bit about the company and then move on to technical and business related questions. Questions were pretty basic.
I had 2 more interviews in the office, both with 2 techies. They seemed to be ill-prepared for interviewing, same questions are asked in every interview.
People are open minded and smart, lots of different cultures.

Interviewed Aug 2011 in Amsterdam (Netherlands) (took a day)
Initial communication was via email, I was cordially invited to be interviewed. I was interviewed by 2 techies,one from the UK office and the other from the Amsterdam office. From the offset I knew there was no HR input as there were no 'Tell me about yourself' questions, it went straight into asking what I knew about Booking.com followed by technical questions.
e.g.
How would you display the top 5 repeating error messages in a log file without timestamps
How would you provision 100 Linux Web Servers, what considerations should you make
What tools do you know for debugging network issues
What considerations would you give when monitoring a replicated chain of databases
Both interviewers were polite and courteous and were looking for specific answers to questions about their type of environment and ones ability to support it. It seemed that the Amsterdam interviewer was more of a techie than the other.
The UK techie did give some time to explaining their environment which consists of 12 sys admins working with approx 100 developers in Amsterdam. Atmosphere did sound informal between the both interviewers, I did ask about the work ethic and environment regarding if Booking.com staff have a work ethic of inclusion in the work-place i.e for foreigners coming to work in Amsterdam. That part of the question wasn't really answered which to me means they may not have a code of ethics on information sharing, bullying policies, inclusion etc like other larger companies would have, however the UK interviewer did detail the different countries that current staff come from (wide & varied).
Personally I wasn't suitable for the role (not enough Linux experience) and on the BIG plus side they sent a very nice PFO email.

Interviewed Feb 2011 (took 4 weeks)
Interview comprised of a telephone interview followed by a 1:1 interview involving HR manager and Regional manager. Telephone interview was quite straight forward no trick questions seemed more a like a test on communcation skills.
1:1 was as expected more in-depth with a lot of scenario questions i.e. if you were faced with this issue how would you deal with it. Seemed important for them that you saw the business in the same light as they did. I would recommed you get as much background info on the culture of the company. e.g. flat line structure, open plan work space etc.
I received work back 9 days later to say I had not been selected. After contacting the HR manager to get a more concise explanation I was told that I was over qualified for that particular position and they would keep me on file for future post.
