I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Needham, MA) in Oct 2015
Interview
Two interviews with multiple people mainly focused on technical skills -- with many people repeating the same line of questioning -- ranging from (silly/basic) coding test to (contrived) architecting and design.
There was an initial HR interview, followed by an online interview with a technical manager to go over what they do and address concerns with the company. This was followed with a brief technical assessment after which there would be a take-home assignment and another interview. It could be quite a long process to reach the end!
