Got a LinkedIn message from someone at Booking.com. Replied fast and got an intro call invite. The first call was just the typical stuff about my experience and time for my questions. The second call was supposed to be the same day, but it got delayed by 20 minutes after it was supposed to start. This second attempt at the second call never happened, and I never got any explanation why. It's like they say they're looking for "high potentials" but are too full of themselves to even respect those people's time.

A recruiter reached out to me and we set up a phone screening. It was a really bad experience. The recruiter seemed uninterested and like they were just trying to hit a quota. They couldn't even find my resume at first and clearly hadn't read it. They weren't listening when I spoke and asked strange questions like about company turnover. They then told me I wasn't a good fit and mentioned future openings for Product Owner and Senior Product Owner roles, which was odd since I applied for Senior Product Owner. They seemed clueless about the position.

Behavioral Technical Presentation
The interview process is handled in a really professional way. From the first contact (on LinkedIn) throughout the end. It consisted in one screening interview with a recruiter via phone. Another technical interview by phone with two product owners. Then half a day of interviews at the office in Amsterdam. At the office there was first a short talk with two recruiters, then two interviews (each with two different product owners). Then since they were positive they asked me to stay longer and I had an interview with the head of Product Owners.
