trivago Interview Questions

It was averagely difficult and the process was smooth. I was stressed a little bit but the online interview was on point and for internships they have step by step application process.

Friendly recruiter and hiring manager but CPO behaviour very odd. Did not make eye contact and explain his role, and spent half of interview discussing how to fire a liked employee in his/ her probation period (in Germany it's 6 months, and guess hard to fire afterwards). Seemed like discussing personal issue.

The recruitment process is poorly organised. The HR department sends out emails using the wrong templates. After the interview appointment, no one came at the appointed time without any notification. They later apologised for this and we had a call with their project manager on the second attempt. I didn't have a technical interview with them because they sent a Case Study consisting of three SQL tasks. I sent the solution, waited 2 weeks, and they didn't send any feedback, but instead sent an automated response in which they decided not to move forward with my application.

The process took one and half months, a total of 4 interviews two of them were almost 90 minutes. In the end of the process, they just said they have some internal issues and they don't know whether they will recruit for this position or not. I have never heard a word after that.

Applied online and got a response from the recruiter after many days. She scheduled a 45-minute call to discuss my previous exits from former employers, my skills, some of my important projects, and my expectations in the next role. She told me she would check internally to find the most suitable role for me and then I just got a rejection email next week.

First meeting with HR looking into your background. Take home assessment, you are given some questions to prepare, questions were a bit ambiguous at times, and while they suggest a short work time to complete they ask you questions requiring further research. Presentation of the said assessment.

It is a three steps process accurately described on their website. The first step is a behavioral interview (45 min approximately). The second one is a Code Review (45 min) with a couple of simple problems (You have a week to prepare your solutions). Finally, if you pass, there is a third technical interview (2 hours max).

The worst experience with the prospective employer ever. I submitted my application in April, did test case, participated in 4 interviews. The hiring process was extremely long, but I was patient enough. Finally, in June, I was offered the job with relocation. I wasted month preparing all necessary documentation (another waste was money I had to spent for notary translations required by Trivago). During this month Trivago's employment service informed me of the relocation process and contract preparation, so I quite confidently rejected other job offers. What I got in the end is the call with ambiguous statements that the company is changing its strategy and no longer planning to hire me. As far as I understand, all vacant positions were closed. Too-da-looo!

I felt the interview was going pretty well until we discussed salary expectations, the face of my recruiter changed as if I mentioned something out of their budget, so I am guessing they are not willing to pay decently for competitive candidates. The thing is that I am willing to accept less, but I cannot say it straightforward because I felt it is counterintuitive. I was mostly interested in the relocation, but they sent the email that my process wouldn't progress further, so I feel like not attempting to contact them, I am in a progress with another company anyway. Honestly, the person seemed to be like they were burned out, but that was a very personal vibe based on almost nothing.

The process took 3 weeks, case study, technical interview and behavior interview. The interviewers are friendly and gave hints when I stucked at some question. I had chances to ask question at the end
