Expedia Group interview questions

Okay! Expedia - it's a sincere request from a new grad- You must first recruit some good HR who are at least professional enough to reply to our emails. HR's dont care , never pick up their phones and never replies. I met with an accident just before I received an onsite interview call. I tried every possible way to reach out to my HR to ask if she can schedule to next onsite event/ 2018 onsite venue. But nope, lady was busy updating her instagram and twitter ( am serious!). Unfortunately, I had no other option but had to attend my onsite with my injury.( yup! A new grad can't miss an opportunity especially when you don't have a job). I got a call from a referral ( a senior in my college- who happens to join the company few months back in 2017) . They asked two easy - medium hackerrank questions. Next round is onsite. Onsite has three rounds. Two technical and one HR. I am really surprised with technical interviewers. They were given solutions to the problem they ask us and they are expecting if we are telling the same (or somehow closer ) to that solutions. Like who does that? A question can be solved in many different ways. One of the technical round will be system design. HR round will be fine. The thing I didnt like the most was the interviewers who were interviewing didn't had enough experience of interviewing. They themselves were getting confused and looking for the solutions. And yes, there was no transparency in the whole process. A person who has referred us , was taking my fellow classmates/college mates interviews! Are you guys kidding me ? How can you let that person interviews us? A person who has referred us! Later, I got to know that almost everyone knew the questions before the interview! Worst experience till date. I will NEVER EVER and EVER apply to this company.

After applying online I got a link to complete a video interview with HireArt. This was easy - you can train as much as you want, find a right angle, right lightning..etc.. After that I got an invitation to an on-site interview. There were 2 managers, I was told from the very beginning to relax and take as much as needed time to answer the questions. The questions were pretty difficult. At first I was asked about my previous experience and then there was some role playing. For example, try to convience a hotel owner to use Expedia services. Expedia has one of the best HR Managers. Not only he was keeping me updated and asked about interview, but also gave me a feedback! All in all I had a feeling that they are looking for an agressive sales person and not a peoples person. It was a very teaching moment anyway.
