I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Boston, MA) in May 2015
Interview
I got referred by the recruiter who told me TripAdvisor was interested in my mathematical background.
We scheduled the Skype interview for a week from the date we heard from TripAdvisor.
I read the reviews here on GlassDoor and figured that there will be a lot of Data Structures and Algorithmic questions. Unfortunately, it's been a while that I had a chance to work with them so I read the books/articles and watched videos to refresh my memory about those topics as well as complexity and programming knowledge.
After the interview I did not have any news for a week or so. Then, they said they were not interested which is fine. The bad part was that I wasn't able to learn why.

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.

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
