I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Expedia Group (Austin, TX) in Oct 2022
Interview
Long, arduous interview process with very little feedback along the way. After the final interview recruiter told me the hiring manager was looking for someone with more Java experience for senior level roles, why didn't they tell me at the start or make it clear on the job posting? Beats me. I even asked my interviewers how much of a deal breaker that was; it didn't matter at all according to them. Hell, some even said they hardly know any Java or Kotlin. One even preferred me to NOT use Java on a code challenge and we switched to Javascript, which is pretty damning for a Java shop. Whole recruiting experience was a dumpster fire, nobody seems to know what they want out of a candidate and it just wastes everyone's time.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Mostly asked what I would consider popular, medium level leetcode questions.
One phone screen, up front, and the final round of interviews was four one-hour sessions. The two non-technical interviews were only 45 minutes. One was a coding question, and the other was a system design question.

Question 1
Tell me about a time when you handled conflict in the workplace.
Process involves having two coding challenges to be solved which are medium in difficulty, problems where asked in terms of sliding window, HashMap based questions. And in system design I have asked my current projects and designing scheduler etc. Interview process was great but its little lengthy to recieve an offer.

I was contacted directly by a recruiter from the company about an open role. The first call went fine, and they mentioned there would be next steps. After that, nothing—no follow-up, no feedback, not even a rejection message. I followed up politely but got no response. It’s disappointing when companies don’t respect candidates’ time or close the loop after interviews.
