Entrevista
I completed the coding challenge on HackerRank and got an email from the recruiter to book some time for an initial discussion. In the call with the recruiter, I had to explain my background and the work I have done in the data science area, and also to address my availability and salary expectations. Following this, I had an interview scheduled with two data scientists at booking.com. This interview was more detailed, I had to explain one data science (specifically machine learning) project I was involved. Then they presented a real-life business case and asked me how I would solve it from a data science perspective. This interview too about an hour. After that I got an email from the recruiter saying that it was decided to not further proceed with the interview process.

Interview process was solid and relevant. There were three rounds: one technical, one business case directly tied to the role, and one focused on company alignment. Most rounds included case studies, which tested problem solving approach along with technical knowledge. The conversations were clear and to the point. Main focus was on how you approach problems and whether that fits with the company values. Reading about the values and culture beforehand is important

Follow up questions from case study, questions about experimentation
30 mins phone screen with recruiter, next round will be with 2 data scientists and discuss on a business case. Seems like they did have some opinion on that question, it was not like a open discussion.
I talked with manager and recruiter. Some questions about personality and some about technical skills. Some were more difficult then others. The people were quitte nice. But a lot of competition
