      Software Engineering New Grad Interview

      Positive experience
      Average interview

      Application

      I applied through a staffing agency. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tripadvisor in Nov 2015

      Interview

      Standard technical interview. 15 minutes going over resume, 40 minutes technical questions, 5 minutes for questions. Resume was gone over with a lot of questions about the technical challenges of the internship experiences I had before. Lots of questions on the technical aspects, so I think they did want to verify the things I put on the resume. Technical questions weren't too difficult and the interviewer was very helpful the entire time. A coding challenge was sent afterwards that dealt with processing a simple csv file, choice of language was anything you wanted. Overall, not too bad of an experience.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      1/ Basically keeping track of the kth element while inserting and deleting elements from a list. Optimal solution was supposed to be O(logn) retrieval and insertion (assumption given was equal number of inserts and retrievals) 2/ Then asked simple algorithm problem, unique strings in a list. 3/ Then talked about a simple distributed systems/concurrent systems problem. Two simultaneous requests to a web server and it crashes, how does one debug this?
