      Software Engineer Interview

      Application

      The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (New York, NY)

      Interview

      I interviewed at TripAdvisor on April 2016. After the phone interview, I had a one hour technical interview on Skype with the hiring manager. The question was not hard, but the interviewer was way too rude and unprofessional! TripAdvisor's interviewers definitely need to be trained by Google's interviewers. If the interviewee asks clarifying questions, that doesn't mean that you should be ironic and rude! I found two different solutions for the problem, but not the one on the interviewer's mind.

      Easy interview

      Application

      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.
