I applied through college or university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tripadvisor in Oct 2013
Interview
Applied through a recruiter in my school's tech career fair. Had an in-person interview the next day. An hour after my interview, I got an email saying I did well, and that they'd like to do a phone interview with me.
My phone interview finally happened over 3 weeks after the original interview. They had me program on a shared document - so the engineer at the other end could see what I was writing as I was writing it.
I didn't do too well, and a day later they sent me an email saying "thanks but no thanks".

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
