Colloquio
Applied online and was invited to a telephone interview in english one week later. Very interesting, exciting half an hour call and friendly tone. Few days later was invited to present to an interview at the office. Contrary to the phone call, the interview face to face was quite ordinary, even banal, as long as I expected something much more technical. Rather basic questions, astonishing for such a major company. Not a lot to answer when your cv has it all. Invited to a small roleplay, that obviously benefits to candidates that have worked at booking.com before and very subjective conclusion in the end. You usually know quite well what you have to do and how far you could go in your proper job, but the role play had no sens if you haven't worked there before. Very unpleasant experience, as the interview was so plane.

How do you imagine the position- you do not imagine it, a detailes description is available on the website.
How do you see yourself in 5 years- when changing orientation by applying for the position, it is probably that you are curious and various interested enough not to know precisely. The only thing you know is that you want to evoluate and be good in what you are doing.
Role play implicating a previous practice exactly on this position. I have precised this was not my case, but they insisted on getting ahead. They were able to conclude if you are or not out of the box after the role play. Clearly subjective.

The assessment wasn't too long. At the beginning the manger and the team leader for whom we should work presented us the company, then you have to shortly present your self in front of the other candidates. After the presentation there is a group role play, not difficult, it's just to understand if you can work in a team and collaborate with your colleagues, after the group one, they take you in another room for the individual role play, they ask you to explain something to one of your partner.
At the end they told us that they knew who fitted the role and who didn't, and that they had doubts about some of the candidates, those are invited to a personal interview and the other could go home at that point.

Colloquio
First of all I submitted my CV through Booking.com website.
After almost two month, I received an email from the HR department based in Amsterdam in order to arrange a call meeting with the interviewer. So I made the first interview by phone, in English, and then my application was reviewed and I received a call to arrange the interview at Booking.com office here.
I made the interview at their offices and I received a call and they explained me their offer.
The entire process was very quickly (apart the timing between the website application and the first interaction by email).

The interviewers were so kind, and made me feel very comfortable.
At the beginning, they introduced themseves, and explained me the work, tasks, and about the society.
Then I talked about my actual work, my task, strengths..
Some questions were:
-Why do you apply for that work here in Booking.com?
-What challenges do you face in your daily work?
-If you could change one thing in Booking.com website, what would it be?
And we also made a "role playing game" in my native language, I had to convince a partner structure to sell us all the hotel rooms in a high season period.
