Entrevista
I had the worst possible Interview Experience.
Had 3 interviews across 3 weeks time, prepared well for it. Interviews went fine, answered all questions.
But, NEVER GOT A FEEDBACK. It's been 6 weeks now but I'm still waiting for a response. I'd have very much appreciated even a simple rejection e-mail, but not a single reply. I even e-mailed the recruiter a lot of times, but no reply.
I let go of a couple opportunities because I was waiting for its result and didn't want to lose this opportunity because let's be honest, Booking.com is a good opportunity to work. But, it seems like I wasted 1 month in this process, which I regret today.
Hope nobody goes through this ever.

Prepare HashTables and Graph algorithms, questions are average but you'd have to decide what algorithm to use, which is the trick.

This was the first interview. In general it was a relaxed conversation with in depth moments. The main goals was to share information about the applicant, the company and see if there is a possible match. I like the academic nuance but the feedback is taking too long and is not clearly communicated.

It took 2-3 weeks between the initial call and the live-coding interview.
On the Live Coding, there were 2 engineers on the call. They were nice and appreciated my effort, even if the solution was no the best one.

You're given an array of city pairs and a start city. You need to find a valid itinerary:
cities = [
['Milan', 'Mexico'],
['Mexico', 'Dubai'],
['Berlin', 'Milan'],
['Barcelona', 'Berlin'],
]
Having the start: "Barcelona"
Here it would be: [ Barcelona, Berlin, Milan, Mexico, Dubai ]
