Entrevista
Recruiter found me on stackoverflow, where I have a complete "developer history", and based on my experience recommended me to apply to a certain position. After an email exchange they sent me the hackerrank challenge.
After I passed the challenge, I had phone call with the recruiter about my experience.
Few hours later I received an email from no-reply account telling me that I was not a good fit.
If my experience didn't fit the position why did they asked me to apply(!?).

Interview was mostly about leaning about your thinking and approach towards a problem. How do you come up about handling a problem related to scale, are you able to modularize your components.
There were 3 rounds :
1) Round one was simple Java based question, not much about algorithms, data structures. It was more about coming up with right states as Enums, designing right processing flow, handling edge cases.
2) This was system design round about developing some component which may be used in booking.com. It was more about handling large scales, retries, failures, external system integration etc.
3) Third round was cultural fit round to evaluate how you handle pressure, failure, team etc.
The interview process was very smooth and productive. I was so relaxed during the whole process because the interviewers were so friendly. The interviewers were so precise but at the same time, they were always ready to help.
