I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Travelzoo in Nov 2024
Interview
Pretty straight forward and the team "appeared" to be interested. They were quick to schedule follow-ups and asked the typical interview questions. After meeting in person...everything kinda went south. They delayed the final update..pushing it over several weeks to then find out (after several followups) they were moving in a different direction. Have a lot of respect for Travelzoo and wish the best. End of the day... everyone always has a different perspective when meeting Zoom vs In-Person. Someone can appear (ex: taller...shorter....ehh on looks..age...etc). Part of the "sale" is your appearance and having to go through the process over 2 months to then find out you probably never had a chance I probably could have used my time elsewhere. Kicker is..the job is still posted to this day...

Interview
What a strange place. I was asked to make a presentation for the very first interview. One of the founder brothers interviewed me and kept going on tangents, went way beyond the allotted time, and then would send emails from a non-company account after. It didn’t even feel like I got real interview questions and he was fixated on the aesthetics instead of the actual content.
I didn’t get formally rejected without multiple follow-ups, which is extra disrespectful when you made someone put together a presentation.
I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Travelzoo (Toronto, ON)
Interview
There were 3 rounds of interviews. First on the phone, and then one at the office which included a technical question. I was then given a written assignment (timed) which I had to complete. After that, I had the final interview with my would-be manager on the phone before getting the offer.
Overall, I'd describe the process as challenging, but definitely manageable. But the whole process took about 3 weeks.
