I applied through university. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Newton, MA) in Oct 2013
Interview
Textbook technical interview, all questions are to be expected. I mentioned this below, but be sure to be rock solid on your basic data structures and algorithms (trees and tree traversal, arrays, heaps, linked lists, hash tables, O-notation... you name it). This is a very fair interview that you can completely own with enough preparation.
That being said, I had a net negative experience. I'd think that how a company treats its interviewees is indicative of how it'd treat its employees, and compared to how other similar caliber companies will treat a potential tech hire: TA's not great.
Remember that if you're a qualified candidate, the company's not just interviewing you, but you're interviewing them. Take a look around (though they won't give you a tour), get a feel for the culture. Most importantly, ask questions of your interviewer and gauge their personalities. See if these are people you'd really want to work with before making a decision. And if the company treats you poorly or is unfair to you, take note and move on.
I applied online. I interviewed at Tripadvisor in Feb 2026
Interview
Good, although, sometimes struggling in providing you information about when interview will be leaving you wondering. Technical interview was good, I went into in uncertain as I wasn't sure about if I could solve a challenge. Recruiter was very nice and informative as well. Gutted to not progress onto next stages but they layout whole process for you and provide with you with feedback even if you fail the technical interview.
I hope to re-apply soon when I become more confident with approaching technical assessments cause these do not correlate with your day to day duties as SE.

A few rounds of technical interviews and hr was done . A technical test was sent to me and an online live coding session was also set . The overall process was good

Looks like a demanding process. I didn’t get through the initial stage interview due to not having great answers for the screening questions so I can’t tell much on what comes later
