Interview
Was contacted after meeting with a TripAdvisor representative at a career fair. First interview was straightforward and was done on a hacker-rank -like platform, and then we mostly just talked a lot about myself and my interests. The next day I was given a challenge which I had 24h to do, before the final rounds.
