      Software Developer Interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Boston, MA) in June 2014

      Interview

      Process took about a week. First part was a phone interview - we went over some parts of my resume that were relevant to the position, I was asked some technical questions: commonly used data structures, differences between array and linked list, how to build a linked list, questions about grep command. After that we had a shared work-space session online where I had to code two very simple programs in js - a second year comp sci student should have no problem coding them up. All together, this part took about 50 minutes. I was invited to an on-site interview at FlipKey's office. The office space is well renovated factory building; modern and very well designed. Open-concept with a lot of space and light. I was impressed. The interview was Google-style 4 one-hour individual white-board interviews with different team leads. Each interviewer had some questions about my past job experience and then presented a problem or two to solve on a white-board. Some problems: Write a program that character-reverses an ascii file. Write an atoi function Given an non-typical tree structure, split nodes into group by weight. Things to review: Sets, Lists, Tree Traversal, Greedy Algorithm, Knapsack problem. A few other problems where knowledge of standard algorithms and data structures is required. Overall the interview experience was good. From what I saw and learned about the company, I would have liked working there. I had one major complaint: I didn't realize ahead of time how long the interview process was. The interview stretched well over the lunch hour and by the end I was exhausted and passing out from hunger. I felt it was inconsiderate of FlipKey to not offer me lunch or at least a break between interviews, considering I mentioned a few times that I was hungry. Especially considering that the whole company was having catered lunch that day - when I asked for coffee they actually walked me by the lunch trays. In retrospect I should have gotten over my shyness and asked them to give me lunch. Being burned out and having low blood sugar definitely took a big hit on my performance.

      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.

      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
