I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Needham, MA) in Jun 2018
Interview
Very fast. Phone screen with recruiter, follow-up with manager and then an on-site. Recruiter worked with me prior to my on-site to make sure I was ready and was familiar with the company values - unlike a number of places I’ve worked TripAdvisor treats its values very seriously and uses them when evaluating candidates - something I’ve done now that I’ve interviewed people for TripAdvisor.
Received an offer the day after the on-site. Speed wins.
The interview consisted of a coding interview, 2 system design interviews + coding, and a culture fit interview. Interviews was well-prepared and conducted in a friendly atmosphere. Interviewers were helpful.
Overall the process was really difficult (7 interviews overall) but they decided pretty quickly and the interviews were all comprised in 3/4 days.
Most of the interviewers were nice and tried to make your life easy when you hit a dead-end.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tripadvisor in Aug 2024
Interview
After the interview, I had a biter feeling, and I was ghosted by a recruiter who did not provide the interview result to the manager. It seems they are just collecting candidates' data.
