I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Expedia Group (Brisbane) in Nov 2015
Interview
I got a phone interview through an employee referral. I spent a lot of time preparing for it as I had read that Expedia interviews are not easy. At the end of the phone interview, the lady asked me about my visa status. Even though I had a work visa, she said I couldn't be considered for the position as I was not a permanent resident of Australia. If they had such a strong policy, they should have had it in the position description or asked me the question at the beginning of the interview. It was a complete waste of her time and mine!
Three stages with three different people. They move pretty quickly which is nice. Typically all from the same department as well! They ask more thought provoking questions than job specific ones
There were 2 rounds of interviews. The first interview was a video recording where you had to answer a couple of open questions and the second one was an online interview with a person.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
- What are your greatest strengths?

The first stage was a hirevue interview with basic questions like why do you want to join Expedia, when was a time you struggled, introductions, and etc. it took about fifteen minutes to finish the video interview and it also included a few questions about availability
