      Software Engineer Interview

      8 Sept 2015
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Houston, TX
      No offer
      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through university. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Houston, TX) in Feb 2015

      Interview

      The interview happened after the fall semester career fair expo. There are totally two questions that being asked. One question is about basic search and another is about tree. I wrote the code in a paper and I am allowed to use any language including C, Java, or Python. The interview lasts about 1 hour and I received a take home programming assignment after that. The programming assignment asked you to do a sorting on the string form 1 to many files. If you passed the programming assignment, you will be invited to the company and do an onsite interview. Since I did not do well on the programming assignment, I did not make it to the onsite interview.

      Software Engineer I Interview

      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. I interviewed at Tripadvisor in Feb 2026

      Interview

      Good, although, sometimes struggling in providing you information about when interview will be leaving you wondering. Technical interview was good, I went into in uncertain as I wasn't sure about if I could solve a challenge. Recruiter was very nice and informative as well. Gutted to not progress onto next stages but they layout whole process for you and provide with you with feedback even if you fail the technical interview. I hope to re-apply soon when I become more confident with approaching technical assessments cause these do not correlate with your day to day duties as SE.

      I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Portugal)

      Looks like a demanding process. I didn’t get through the initial stage interview due to not having great answers for the screening questions so I can’t tell much on what comes later
