I applied through university. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Boston, MA) in Feb 2014
Interview
Met them at a career fair, was asked to describe hash map. Was invited to an on-campus interview the next day. Questions on binary search and finding the LCA in a tree. Interviewer was very helpful with the last one.
Got email with "homework" assignment in 2 weeks or so. The homework is described here on Glassdoor at some for an intern position I believe. The whole point was to see how you would treat unexpected user input (it was about sorting, but you're allowed to use the sort from the library). Passed that and got invited to an on-site interview a week or so later.
Interviewed a month later (on my request). They flew me to Boston and put me in a nice hotel. I had interviews with 4 people (it is my understanding that there were supposed to be 5, but the last one didn't make it, though I may be wrong). Questions were basic. I thought I did well (very well on 3 of them, well enough on the other). Didn't get the job :( Still hoping for some feedback on that (they sort of promised that, but I just got a standard rejection).
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
