I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Needham, MA)
Interview
3 rounds of onsite interview. I got there in the morning, had a lunch with 2 of their engineers and other candidates. After which I had 2 rounds of tech interviews and a round of reasoning interview. Love the first two, even through I failed at the second one. Really hate the third one, not sure what can the company get about me.

Question 1
2 tech interviews, can't tell you what they asked, but I suggest you to go through both algorithm and Java basic.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tripadvisor in Oct 2019
Interview
I interviewed with TripAdvisor at the Grace Hopper conference - they reached out to me through the resume database for the conference. There were two back to back interviews, both technical, with software engineers at the company. Overall a very positive experience because everyone I interviewed with was really nice and worked with me to solve the problems, even when something came up that I didn't know. The recruiter I worked with was also wonderful and really great at getting back to me promptly and explaining next steps to me along the way.
