Priceline.com Interview Questions

Application

I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Priceline.com (Norwalk, CT) in January 2020.

Interview

The interview process was seamless. The recruiting and HR teams thought of everything to make my experience an enjoyable one--from travel to accommodations to meeting a diverse group of company stakeholders, which allowed me to really get a sense of the company and culture. At every stage of the interview process and irrespective of the level of the interviewer, everyone was kind and approachable and made me feel like I would be an asset to the company (even the CEO), even though I was only in the interview stage. Liz Dente and Stephan Cantave managed this recruiting process with a level of professionalism, efficiency, transparency, and kindness that I have never experienced in an interview process. To be honest, it was their handling of the recruiting process that tipped the scales for me in making my decision to accept an offer at Priceline.

Interview

Set up a phone screen with a recruiter based on our availability. Didn't get a call at the time we were supposed to speak. Got an email the following week giving me reasons why the call didn't happen as well as setting up another call. Once again, no call at the given time followed by reasons why the call didn't happen. I emailed to reschedule but didn't get a reply. Very unprofessional.

Interview

The interviewer mainly asked JS concepts, like what is the Promise? Why do we use JS? What happen if the key is not a string? Can you use reduce method?

Interview

So disappointed in this interview process.
- I applied on the JD and was contacted about 1 month later by a recruiter but I missed his call which was on a Friday. He left a very brief message and I called him right back but could not reach him so I tried him on Monday and was able to get in touch with him. We had no more than a 5 minute call - I think he was just trying to check that I was somewhat normal.

- He then asked me to tell him my availability for the next round interview which would be a screen share video chat and I gave him multiple dates. After a week, I still hadn't received a time for my next round interview so I reached out to no avail and was also moving through the interview process at another company which I told Priceline to be transparent.

- When the recruiter finally got back to me, it was clear that he hadn't even looked at the availability I had given him because he got back to me with a date I had not listed. That made me feel like Priceline didn't really value me as a candidate - I was just some person they were haphazardly getting through the interview process.

- So I do the online interview and I find out that I passed that round and would be able to schedule an on-site interview. I made it very clear that I needed to schedule my on-site ASAP because I had another onsite coming up. The recruiter made no effort to make this happen. I emailed him at least three times pleading to get a date set but no one was able to schedule my on site so priceline lost out on me as a candidate. I went to another company's onsite and was given an offer that I accepted...did priceline think i was going to wait for them????????

Interview

Phone screen, technical video call, technical in-person, final interview video call

The process was too long overall. It happened to work out for me but the company needs to be more responsive with emails and more promptly scheduling interviews

Interview

Very unprofessional. There were multiple last minute cancellations on their end, and only once did they give me the courtesy of alerting me before the phone interview was scheduled to begin. The other times I was left waiting by the phone with no word from them until hours or the next day after the appointment. Each time the excuse was that the interviewer had been called into an emergency meeting or was stuck in a meeting they couldn't escape. No consideration was given for the hours of my time I had to block out for each appointment.

I finally pointed out that if I as an interviewee treated the appointment times this cavalierly my resume would be rightfully thrown in the trash. Only then did I get something like an apology and a couple of actual interviews.

The first phone screen interview was very brisk and the woman doing the screening kept interrupting me when I answered her questions. I got the impression all she cared about was proving she'd asked a set list of questions with no care for what the answers were. The second interview was fine enough, if not organized (see Interview Questions). However there seemed to be a lack of communication or understanding between the second interviewer and the third. The second interviewer stressed looking for a specific set of skills for the job and we only spoke about those skills and how they related to the goals of the role. However the third interviewer acted as though those skills had little to nothing to do with the job at all and treated my follow up questions about them as though I was misguided to bring them up.

I did not get the job but to be honest I was glad. The multiple missed appointments were really enough to tell me that this is not a company with a culture that respects the people who work there. All companies should remember that the interview process is just as much for candidates to learn about the company as it is for companies to learn about the candidates. If Priceline wants to attract and retain top talent it can't treat candidates as beyond an afterthought.

Interview

A recruiter reached out to me on LinkedIn. I had a typical 30 minute phone interview with him. He asked how proficient I am with SQL and other programming languages.

Interview

A recruiter reaches out to you, then you do an initial video call with hiring manager (they're very insistent on a video call even if you say no). Now this is an interesting interview; the hiring manager was more interested in if you knew the textbook definitions to their trivia questions rather than my problem solving ability. I was never asked about my experience working at my various roles, rather just a rapid fire questions of what does this term mean? A lot of foolish questions that doesn't gauge one's abilities. A few days later I receive a rejection email as expected.

Application

I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Priceline.com (Norwalk, CT) in June 2019.

Interview

get interview based on referral. Then two round phone interviews then onsite. Interview questions have no nutrients just like other reviews. Ask lots Java knowledge which are not commonly used. Even worse, three months after the interview, priceline hasn’t reimbursed my expense. The contact person always saying working on that when I follow up the reimbursement. And told me it processed in Aug18 but I haven’t received it

Interview

I was contacted after submitting my resume, and had a brief conversation with a nontechnical recruiter. The questions were just me going over my resume. My main frustration was that it doesn't seem like they train their interviewers properly. I was asked what version of Java I last used, said Java 9 and was told that there was no such thing. It was a silly question anyway. A few days later, I get an email from a technical recruiter (a whole different person)saying that she enjoyed speaking with me but that after "consideration" my application was denied. Rejection is fine and to be expected, but this was pretty insulting.
