I applied through college or university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tripadvisor in Jan 2014
Interview
I was asked to explain what it is and why someone would use a Hash Table, a Heap, and Red and Black Trees. Aside from that I was also asked to write a program that, given a number n, would run the 'collatz' equation till 1 and print each number on the way.

Question 1
There were no difficult questions per say. It was all about whether or not I remembered how each data structure worked, and if I was comfortable enough with each one to give real reasons for using it.
I applied through college or university. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Newton, MA) in Dec 2013
Interview
Had an on campus interview, then a phone screen, and finally an on site in Newton. The interview's were fairly basic and didn't focus on a particular area, so just make sure your basics are solid. For the on-site I was in an interview room while people came in and introduced themselves for a total of four interviews.
