Recruiting Leader at Expedia

No Offer – Interviewed in Bellevue, WA Jul 2012 – Reviewed May 17, 2013

Interview Details – I was contacted by an Executive Recruiter who spent about 30 minutes with me but couldn't answer any of my questions about the business. She said she was new and really didn't know much. 3 months later I got a 'reject' email from the system. Really? They should do better than this. Very disappointing.

Interview Question – She really didn't ask me much at all.   Answer Question

Market Associate at Expedia

No Offer – Interviewed in Dallas, TX Apr 2013 – Reviewed May 7, 2013

Interview Details – I applied online and used my Linked In profile to apply. Within days, I noticed a recruiter from the company viewed my profile. I was contacted via email to set up my first phone interview. I had my FIRST phone interview. It lasted about 35 minutes and was the generic HR prescreen. The recruiter spoke mostly about what the position called for with a HEAVY HEAVY stress on sales which is a different feel from the posted job description. She scheduled me for a second phone interview which was later rescheduled by the interviewer because she was under the weather. That second phone interview lasted about 50-60 minutes. You are put totally on the spot to provide a role play situation of what you would do if the position was yours. Super uncomfortable and unexpected but I fought through it. Apparently, it well as they scheduled me for an in person interview for 3 hours at their office with 3 different people.

Interview Question – Which famous person do you most look up to? Weird? Just me? Ok   View Answer

Product Manager Technical Ecommerce at Expedia

Declined Offer – Interviewed in Mar 2013 – Reviewed May 1, 2013

Interview Details – The first round consisted of a phone interview with the hiring manager. The questions were straight forward and asked about previous experiences. However, the interviewer was extremely rude and abrupt. Towards the end of the interview while asking standard questions about his department and current operations, he hung up with no instructions of next steps and directly told me not to contact him for any questions b/c he's really busy and won't have time to answer them. If this guy is going to be my future manager, I would rather pass on the opportunity. Having this rude hiring manager interview terribly represents Expedia's culture and senior management. At least be polite and remember that you are representing the company as well.

Interview Question – super easy questions about your past experience and how you have worked in teams dynamic.   Answer Question

Reason for Declining – The hiring manager was very rude during the interview and decided I would not be a good fit for his department.

Software Development Engineer In Test (SDET) at Expedia

No Offer – Interviewed in Bellevue, WA – Reviewed Apr 22, 2013

Interview Details – I had a very bad experience with Expedia. After a phone interview, they arranged to fly me to their headquarters. Unfortunately my flight got delayed due to bad weather and I was told by them to cancel my trip. They called me next day morning to tell me that they have given offer letters to two candidates for that role and they will only give me a chance to interview at their HQ if any of these candidates reject the offer.

Interview Question – The hardest part to grasp was that I never got a chance interview for that role (which was my area of interest) because of bad weather. How is that my fault?   Answer Question
