I applied online. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Ithaca, NY) in Nov 2012
Interview
Got phone interviewed by one of their software engineers. Somehow the phone line they used was really bad so I keep hearing this loud noises on my phone. The interviewer was pretty boring and has not much to say so we just went directly to the technical interview directly.
Interview questions [1]

Describe a hashtable and what's the time complexity for searching for a particular element.
I applied through college or university. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Chicago, IL) in Jan 2012
Interview
The interview was pretty short (~15 minutes). It consisted of only technical questions related to basic data structures (containers, pointers, nodes, trees, etc.). Was notified a few weeks later. Answered all the questions correctly. The interviewer was laid back, the company is laid back, the whole experience is pretty painless.
