I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Agoda in Oct 2019
Interview
I had a skype interview in which I was asked a few simple technical questions and probes into my background. The interview went well, but I haven't heard back for a while.
I then mentioned I will be on vacation in Bangkok and could drop by for an interview on-site.
The day of the interview consisted of six 1 hour meetings with different managers from different parts of the organization, some of them were executives.
Unfortunately, there was no structure and seemingly no planning for this process as I was asked random questions about system design, management skills, and coding skills.
Two different interviewers asked me the same whiteboard question in different variations.
In total, I spent most of my time there with the whiteboard, a stressful situation and a one that I wasn't prepared for because I was expecting more to be interviewed about my managerial skills and less about algorithms.
Besides that, I got the sense that some of the interviewers were eager to finish the process as soon as possible. I did not get the impression that these are people I'd want to work with.
I was scheduled for more on-site interviews the next day but canceled them since I figured out Agoda is not a place I want to work at. Needless to say, I didn't get any job offer.
