I applied through university. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Ottawa, ON) in Oct 2013
Interview
I gave them my resume in a job fair in our university (University of Ottawa) and got an email that evening that they can set up a first interview on-campus the next day. The email suggested that if I don't have time the next day, I can schedule a phone interview later. I went on for the on-campus interview.
The interview was a technical one, and lasted 30 minutes. The interviewer was a developer himself, who had just entered the company 6 months ago.
We have a very large amount of text files. We want to write a program that collects all unique phone numbers from the text files. How do you design the software? Tell me the steps. How do you collect phone numbers, assuming they have a XXX-XXX-XXXX pattern? Write the code for collecting phone numbers on a peace of paper
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.

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
