I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tripadvisor in May 2012
Interview
The initial phone interview went very well. so I got invited to an onsite interview.
The interviewers came into the room one at a time.
As they were talking to me, they held a pen and a notebook very tight and constantly wrote stuff in their notebooks. It was very intimidating and I felt like a patient under observation.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
The first interviewer described to me a system that he called h-score. h-score is a score that publishers get if articles that they publish get citations in other articles.
A publisher gets h-score of x if they wrote at least x articles that got x citations each.
Given an array with the number of citations per article, write a function to calculate the h-score for the publisher.

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
