I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Newton, MA) in Nov 2012
Interview
Brief phone interview tech screen to start out with. Then a full day of on-site interviews with 5 different interviewers. Knew hiring decision within 2 business days. Very fast, friendly and efficient. Even had an anonymous hiring process survey to fill out afterwards.
