What kind of questions can you expect to be asked?
We will ask about your understanding of the role, your skills, and your experience. There will be behavioral and situational questions to demonstrate your thought process, such as “Can you tell me about a difficult situation you had to deal with, and what did you do to solve it?”
Some of our questions would be to understand your views on Agoda culture: how you take ownership, work with data, experiment and measure. Or what’s your motivation to join, such as “Why Agoda?,” “What attracted you the most from the job description?”
