I applied online. I interviewed at Booking.com (Amsterdam) in Feb 2026
Interview
Submitting a CV with optional cover letter -> test assignment -> interview with HR -> assestment day in the office with a prior technical assignment (to be completed in advance as a preparation for the essestment day)
Iniziale call screening con HR, secondo colloquio con un account senior di Booking . Domande di ragionamento molto spigolose e troppo precise per un semplice colloquio in Booking. Atteggiamento di chiusura mentale verso candidati altamente validi.

Interview
The whole process is composed of about 5 stages. Initial interview, then technical interview, followed by a “ownership” interview, then by a team-fit check interview. The initial interview is done by recruiters not based in the Netherlands (at least my experience) and felt as if the role had already been filled by the time I took it. Was answered with a “I’m doing good, hope you are doing good too. So this interview…” to “Hi, nice to meet you! How are you?”. It simply felt as if they didn’t want to be there and there was 0 engagement.
