      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      21 Oct 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      Needham, MA
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Needham, MA) in Sept 2022

      Interview

      Scheduled a phone screen, which got rescheduled on the day due to a clash. Eventually got to the phone screen, then ghosted for a week before being told the position had been filled, but they had some more junior positions if that was of interest.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Didn't even get to an interview before being ghosted and bait&switched.

      Principal Software Engineer Interview

      18 Oct 2022
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Easy interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at Tripadvisor in Oct 2022

      Interview

      I applied online and waited for the recruiters for two months. In 2-month the recruiter scheduled a screening call and didn't join it. I sent a follow-up email with a reminder about the scheduled call. The recruiter answered that he had some emergency and could not join the call. We've rescheduled this call, and the recruiter has also ignored the next call.

      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Tripadvisor in Aug 2022

      Interview

      There were 2 interviews. The first one was a phone screen with recruiting. The second one was a technical interview with hiring manager. I don't know if there would have been a panel interview with the team.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      Given some skeleton code with 1 field and 2 method declarations, I was asked to implement an LRU cache, in a shared editor.
