Colloquio
Internal transfers are tough now . Everybody is expected to have practical experience on something they have learned and even certified which only shows how Expedia is influencing it's culture.

Colloquio
I was referred to a position by my friend. Recruiter scheduled a call and it was 15-20 minutes. Later I was scheduled for the telephonic round.
Telephonic round: first half hour was behavioral and some high level spring related questions. The second half was the coding exercise on the codepair. It was about spiral matrix.
Onsite: NDA
Had 4 - 1 hour interviews with 1 person each hour.
1st Interview, 15 min conversation about vrbo and my work. Then jumped to the technical question. It was a question i would never have expected. It makes you think how you can make use the basic data types for efficiently storing data. I think i did alright on this one.
2nd Interview : leet code medium Array question
3rd Interview: small system design, algo about trees, Several tech questions java/spring etc.,.
4th Interview : Behavioral in first half. OOD in the second half. I wish i had more time to understand this, the interviewer did not give me much time on this one. I think i lost on this one.
Interview tips: They are not looking for correctness of a solution, they are looking to understand your thought process. Please ask as many questions as possible before answering the interview and don't jump to solutions even if you know. Explain as many solutions as possible and why you chose the solution.

Colloquio
I contacted a recruiter in January. He met with me for an onsite tour and then a drink with two potential hiring managers. A couple months later, I interviewed onsite, which consisted of (4? 5?) interviews, all but 1 of them being technical. They were very quick to get the details of an offer to me - it took about 2-3 business days at most.

Standard cracking the coding interview style stuff. This is pretty disappointing since such questions have almost no correlation to real world work. But that's pretty standard.
For the senior position, only one interview really focused on system design, but over half of the interview was spent writing code and not talking about scalability tradeoffs. I really would have preferred that bit to be more difficult, as they offered me a senior role without grilling me on many important software engineering at scale concepts.
