I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Sídney) in May 2021
Interview
Applied via a recruitment agency. Got interview invitation in less than a week. The first round is a video call with an engineer over CS fundamentals and object-oriented programing, which touches a bit of Java knowledge. The interviewer was very supportive and left me a good impression.
The on-site interview was scheduled in less than a week after the first round. The on-site interview consists of three stages: a classic whiteboard algorithm & data structure test, a web system scalability case study, and a general cultural fitness discussion with the hiring manager and the team lead.
Overall the interview process was efficient and well-organized. I am particularly impressed by how little time was wasted.
In the end I chose an employer in a different industry, but I will consider TripAdvisor again in the future.
I applied through other source. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Sídney) in May 2021
Interview
2 Software Engineers were interviewing me, they asked about Basic CS questions, problem solving and lastly they gave me a link to code a problem while they watch how you code. They were kind and nice although I didn't fit for the job they gave me a good feedback and encouragement.
interview starts fast, and I was informed. Several interviews were needed to pass. From basic information to technique skills. But they stopped contact me once I finished the first two. We were planning for the next step and they disappeared.
