I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Expedia Group in Dec 2022
Interview
I was told it would be a 2 part process. Two 45 min interviews. Took about 3 weeks to get the first interview set up via the recruiter. The first interview was pretty unrealistic. They expect you to go through 2 case studies on your portfolio, 1 not on your portfolio, do a 60 second elevator pitch on yourself and answer questions in a 45 min time period. The employer did not show up to the interview. Waited around 10 min past interview time in Teams meeting. Recruiter made excuses when I reached out and backed out.

Application
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 5 weeks. I interviewed at Expedia Group (New Delhi)
Interview
It's a slow process and they first organized round one for basic understandings of role and company. and didn't gave any update after follow ups . And finally told not selected without any proper interview. HR needs to have common courtesy to talk to candidates but they seem not to care .
I applied online. I interviewed at Expedia Group (Bellevue, WA) in Feb 2013
Interview
Found listing on LinkedIn. Applied through the Expedia site. Call from HR came 2 days later and briefly described position. Second call to determine skill set was about 30 mins long. Very standard. I sent additional portfolio materials. An in person interview was arranged. Brief HR talk, then 90 minute portfolio review followed by five 45 minute one on ones (plus lunch they provided). Very active interview. Lots of design questions and a fair amount of whiteboarding ways to solve for UX problems. Left feeling pretty good about company and people. Although it was a long day, the time flew by.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
At one point the director was trying to get a specific answer out of me, but I was unable to come up with the exact solution she was thinking of. Basically she wanted to know how to get a user to make a predetermined choice. I went for fun and light answers, seeking user empathy as an answer. But she wanted a specific answer and it wasn't as touchy/feely as my approach. Hate when that happens, but I'm sure they know there's more than one way to do things.
