I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Expedia Group (Bellvue, VA) in Feb 2016
Interview
Was recommended by a professor to contact a recruiter in October. Got back to my in February for an interview. First interview was behavioral with a talent scout. Second interview was with an engineer, was told it wasnt gonna be coding, just conceptual, the interviewer immediately made me share a screen with him to code. He wasnt very responsive and never said if I got any of the answers right. Was told there would be an on site interview but never heard from them again. Emailed them multiple times asking for updates and got no response.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked about hashmaps and how to prevent collisions. Asked about stacks and queues, asked to code a program that figured out if a word was a palindrome or not.
I completed the OA and was selected for the full interview loop. The loop consists of one hiring manager round, two medium-level coding rounds, and a system design round focused on designing a URL shortener like Bitly.com.
I completed one online assessment followed by two LeetCode interview rounds, focusing on problem-solving, data structures, algorithms, coding efficiency, and optimizing solutions under time constraints during the technical evaluation process.
