Colloquio
This was the first interview. In general it was a relaxed conversation with in depth moments. The main goals was to share information about the applicant, the company and see if there is a possible match. I like the academic nuance but the feedback is taking too long and is not clearly communicated.

- Live Coding: Easy problem related to recursion. Calculate time and space complexity.
- System Design: Design a part of Booking’s internal system.
- Cultural Fit: I had a bad experience in this round. One of the interviewers often frowned and was very dismissive. Asked odd questions:

- How many people work in your company
- Explain to me the hierarchy of the company

It took 2-3 weeks between the initial call and the live-coding interview.
On the Live Coding, there were 2 engineers on the call. They were nice and appreciated my effort, even if the solution was no the best one.
