Very disorganized and unpleasant experience. Started quite standard with an initial phone screening and a conversation afterward with the hiring manager and the VP. Oddly they indicated to me that there were two other roles that I was being considered for that I did not apply to. By the end of both phone interviews (hiring manager and VP) I was told that they wanted to fly me out. Heard nothing from either or the recruiter for 3 weeks. Then received an email message from the recruiter that I was no longer in consideration but suggested I apply elsewhere. Total waste of time, I do not mind not being chosen but the "cone of silence" treatment for so long is unprofessional.
Very long interview process, 7 different interviews over a few weeks
Great to get a view of the company and the team
Met with many different departments
They use the STAR method for interviewing
I applied through an employee referral. I interviewed at Expedia Group (Seattle, WA)
Interview
Multi interviews. Some with 2 people. Very STAR focused. Sometimes you’ll get the themes of the interview ahead of time. Other times you won’t. People are almost always super friendly.
