DON’T WASTE YOUR TIME!
If you’re iOS developer and you feel your time is so precious, then I recommend you that please don’t waste your time on Booking.com. I guess they don’t have any openings and they keep rejecting candidates based on very tiny mistake in the interview, not sure if they want to hire Machines instead of humans. I feel they may be posting jobs to keep traction in the market.
I applied through online. They sent me online coding test. Then there was short call with hiring manager, followed by live coding problem solving with two iOS Developers from Amsterdam.
I had a problem solving round and it was really great and I was so confident that I would get into next round, however after the 3 days I got a rejection email saying that candidate did not tell correct time complexity in first attempt. Also Although I supported of edges cases, in feedback they say I only supported basic solution and it was very very frustrating, I swear I did not support only one last very complex edge case because we were already out of time but rest of the edge cases were supported.
Anyway we have to respect their decision as they’re GOD.
