General Interview Process -> Hackerrank test, call with the recruiter, phone interview, onsite interviews
I work at Booking.com, which is a world leader in travel accommodations, as a backend developer. I have only positive things to say about working here. The people are intelligent and helpful, interesting problems to solve and the work hours are unbelievably sane. The company is strongly data driven and very dynamic, which was one of its biggest charms for me. Amsterdam is not a bad place to be either :) The Dutch government also gives a tax break through the 30% ruling to non-dutch people.
The work environment is very international and everybody speaks fluent English. The relocation process is also very finely tuned through years of experience of doing this. Several people have reached out to me from these threads and have been flown to Amsterdam for interviews. Around 10 people have been given offers and more are in the middle of the interview process.
If you have any other questions about the company or the hiring process or you would like me to refer you, please feel free to send me an email at siddharthsarda01 at gmail.com (Email also in my profile at Hacker news).
To have an idea of the kind of problems being solved here, you can also look at our dev blog: http://blog.booking.com/

No recruiters please.
A YC company in 2013, True Link Financial exists to provide quality financial services for all: from protecting grandma’s money from scammers to providing supplemental financial tools that support disabled Veterans.
About us:
* 90% of our work is in React and Rails, 5% is in Java, and about 5% is DevOps—AWS
* Our team works to meet high standards of usability, security, and availability - because our customers depend on our products for their immediate (today's groceries) and long-term (retirement investments) financial needs. So we move fast, but we can't be cavalier about breaking things.
* We also get to experiment and build cool things: We've used Twilio to craft a useful and constantly-improving IVR for customer service, and we help make our customers and operations folks happy by processing inquiries via SMS.
We'll probably get along wonderfully if:
* You've got a minimum of 10 months of software engineering experience, preferably with Ruby on Rails
* You’re a nice person who has worked on hairy, wacky full-stack code in production
* You enjoy exploring implementation options and collaborating with product folks
* You can improve the codebase without being rude, judgmental or arrogant about it
* You would describe yourself less as more of a 'session musician' (e.g. Carol Kaye) than a 'rockstar'
* You're looking for a full-time, on site role in San Francisco
Our engineering team is striving for true inclusion, since we know what it's like to be underrepresented in tech. Our engineers didn't go to 'top CS schools' and have fought to get into this industry, so we question all tech industry platitudes. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, religion, color, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, age, marital status, veteran status, or disability status.
You can apply through Angel List https://angel.co/true-link/jobs/31301-software-engineer or by emailing jobs@truelinkfinancial.com.
We promise to reply within 2 business days!
