Very poor interview process, the only thing this company care about is having a certain number of interviews per month, as in the hiring managers and employee set a target for the management so that they show them they're working and hitting their numbers. Don't waste your time on applying or doing interview with them this business is already sinking and google hotels is replacing them with a much better experience (check the employee reviews here on glassdoor and that will prove it to you)

4 steps, starting with an initial screen call, hiring manager interview, case study assignment, technical interview and final interview. i would argue, the amount of work that needs to be invested is a bit too much, given arguably average salary.
- 1. screening 2. hiring manager 3. home case study 4. technical 5. final interview

Recruiter sends you a take home assignment to be completed in a certain amount of days and then you get the chance to explain your solution and from there you get technical interviews. I managed to get the expected results but got that they preferred the other submissions. Then after a few days I saw in LinkedIn that they were still actively hiring. I wish they had provided a detailed feedback why my submission wasn't selected even though I clearly provided a correct answer to the take home
- No interviews just an immediate take home assignment

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Berlin
I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at trivago (Berlin) in Jun 2023
The whole interview process took 6-8 weeks and there has always been a delay from getting a response after each stage of the interview. 1. HR 2. Hiring Manager 3. Take-home case study 4. Presentation
- All the typical PM questions: 1. Business model of Trivago 2. How do we make money? 3. Who are our largest partners? As far as the difficulty was concerned, they were easy to answer if you have a decent PM experience. However, the Hiring Manager was giving away her inexpertise in the field buy repeting the same question in different words. As far as the case study is concerned, it took 3-4 days to prepare and then creating a presentation for the same. However, all these efforts were in vain as non of the interviewees took the time to read through my case study and was simply asking random questions regarding my approach. If they'd put some efforts to read it through, the whole conversation could have been much better. But it also showed their lack of understanding simple PM concepts like prioritization, stakeholder management etc. It didn't work out in the end (obviously) but it was quite an experience. My only suggestion to fellow applicant would be not to invest more than 3-4 hours to solve the case study as they hardly care about it! It's just how things works at Trivago.

The interview process was quite straight forward. It consist of: 1. Screening 2. Technical assessment 3. Cultural fit However, I did not pass the technical assessment. Personally, this part of the interview is unlike interviews with other companies where you will receive a Leetcode question and try to solve it. Here, it was similar to a leetcode question with easy difficulty level, but the description was poorly worded. There were no examples on what are the expected result from a given input. Instead, the applicant is expected to try to understand the problem by asking questions somewhat similar in a pair programming. I figured this out after the interview when I asked for feedback. I feel they could have told this at the beginning of the interview of the scenario that we are going to be assessed on. In consequence, I wasted much of my time understanding the question instead of trying to solve it.
- 1. Screening, introduction of yourself and reasons for applying. 2. Technical assessment, the problem description states to "merge" two lists. In reality, it was more of filtering or extracting items from list one to list two.

There were 3 round in total and 1 case study. 1st round was HR round. HR was very supportive and also knowledgable about the business. She was also very responsive on email. Case study was of moderate difficulty. 2nd round was based on the screening with case study. It was a drilling 1.5 hour long interview with 2 data scientists but they made it relaxed and it was more of a conversation. In depth question about ML algos were asked especially related to the ones used in case-study. I would advice to know your resume well as some specific question were drawn from that. Final Interview was with a business head and Direct Manager. A consulting case study like question related to business was asked and Business problems with statistics in focus were asked. It was 1 hour long this time. In every round, ample amount of time (10 mins.) was given to the applicant to ask any queries about the role and team. Many people are involved in the decision process and it seems like every one's opinion is taken into account to select an individual. Overall It was an positive experience though and through.
- Q Difference b/w two ML algorithms. Q Problem with performance measuring metrics and other question related to that. Q How do you explain a {data science concept} to a 5 year old? Q Cost function of a ML algo.
