First send you a behavioral questions website. It will give you several situations as an SDE at Expedia Group. You need to choose a decision that you think is the most appropriate and sort the others.
I applied online. The process took 5 months. I interviewed at Expedia Group in Sept 2021
Interview
Received Hackerrank assessment interview with two questions (leetcode medium problems) and 7 multiple choice testing general CS skills.
Did well on the interview and was told "will be in touch for the final round". This is the second time in two hiring seasons, but for some reason they "didn't get around to my application due to a robust pipeline of candidates".
Recruiters are essentially nonexistent until they tell you they've finished hiring for the season. Super unorganized and unhelpful. Feels like they took a page out of their customer service book. Pulled applications.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Run length encoding and Dynamic programming problem using matrices.
The run-length is pretty easy using a stringbuilder and iterating over each char in the string they pass through as an argument.
The other problem was iterating through a matrix using two different reference points and finding shortest path between the two.
Final round interview consisted of two interviews. First one did not go well, the interviewer did not offer any help even when asking for it. Second one went great and got to know a lot more about the interviewer and the interviewer seemed genuinely interested
