Expedia Group Content Editor interview questions

The interview process included a phone screen, followed by a lengthy (nearly 3 hours) in-person interview. This involved 1) a live editing/proofreading exercise, followed by a walkthrough with the interviewer 2) interviews with three different people (individually, not a panel) 3) a take-home writing test. This seemed very involved to me for a position that was a 3- to 6-month contract (and not even a contract-to-hire situation). Worse, I never received any sort of response, feedback, or follow-up from anyone (recruiter or Expedia), despite being asked to email the writing test directly to all three interviewers, which I did within the timeline requested. After about a month passed, I had to contact the recruiter and ask my contact to let Expedia know that they could remove me from the selection process because I had accepted another position. Given the investment required both from me as a candidate and the interviewers—and all for a temporary position—this seemed like a significant waste of everyone's time. Expedia's lack of responsiveness was disappointing.
