      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      Nov 2, 2018
      Anonymous Interview Candidate
      El Segundo, CA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (El Segundo, CA)

      Interview

      They have a normal interview process phone then onsite. Phone interview was pretty average the person had an instigator attitude not sign of friendliness and very harsh I did pretty well because I do usually well in the technical part. I made it to the onsite and that's when things took off to the next level. I met with 4 people. The hiring manager was a typical manager who loves to smile and BS and backstab you which is pretty common in the tech industry. The leads were the most awful part they were extermely manipulative and lazy. They were the kinds of leads we all know where instead of leading people they hire more junior people and suffocate them under themselves. The leads were american, they were all male as well so I didn't meet with any woman and I didn't see any woman even in the office. I was placed in a room where the guy next to me was shouting on the phone and the manager sais oh he is just loud as I was proposed to solve the questions which I did. They all had the worst personalities that I've seen throughout my career so culturally definitely its a very dark place where they hire you and put you in a corner and let you suffer as they are going up themselves and make more money and laugh behind your back and they think it's ok. Stay away from this place, they don't know what they are doing themselves and they don't even know how to evaluate their candidates. They put me through 6 hours of interviews and never even got back to me. It's a typical garbage company in tech so stay far and stay healthy. Hope this helps. Love and light!

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Lots of questions one was about iterator of a list where you implement next, and hasNext and the other two questions were pretty easy too. String parsing, Technical part is pretty straightforward as long as you have some basics covered and understood. I wouldn't worry about that too much.

      I interviewed at Tripadvisor

      Interview

      Overall the process was really difficult (7 interviews overall) but they decided pretty quickly and the interviews were all comprised in 3/4 days. Most of the interviewers were nice and tried to make your life easy when you hit a dead-end.

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tripadvisor in Aug 2024

      Interview

      After the interview, I had a biter feeling, and I was ghosted by a recruiter who did not provide the interview result to the manager. It seems they are just collecting candidates' data.

      Bunch of general questions and convert a number to a roman number.
