Interview
Dropped off resume at Career fair. Got contacted within 2 business days for a highly technical phone Interview. The interviewer looked very serious, suggesting a very boring working environment. Tried putting on a smile but got replied back with a frown. Questions were highly technical. Little or no personality tests. Tried very hard showing an interest and passion for programming but seems like all of that was ignored. Almost no questions about my personal projects or reference to my resume, which was the strongest part of my application. Only reference to his team and working conditions. My advice: do tons of practice with an actual interviewer. Its a lot harder than it looks.

Interview
it was good experience. While in the phone interview. They set up a blackboard where we could both put the code on. I was that bad because i was a sophemore back in that days. I don't know much about everything. So i can't give answer to some really easy questions back then.And i think they have every reason to refuse give me the job.
Because i was that bad, i won't complain anything. It was a good interview.
I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Tripadvisor
Interview
I was contacted by an internal recruiter to discuss possible opportunities. After we exchanged several emails, we set up a time to talk by phone. This initial conversation was focused mainly on exploring more what each of us was looking for, and was not yet a technical interview. The next steps would have been a follow-up, more technical phone interview with the hiring team lead.

Question 1
TripAdvisor is refreshingly up-front with it's interview process and goes out of it's way to let you know what to expect and make sure you prepare ahead of time. There is a very good TripAdvisor blog post on the subject that I highly recommend reading.
