I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Tripadvisor in Aug 2009
Interview
It started with a written question through the recruiter that asks about some general programming concepts, followed by a phone interview, and two afternoons of 1:1 interviews with peers, hiring manager, director and VP of engineering. The first day of interviews were all with peers and hiring manager, and were mostly technical interviews. The second day was spent with potential colleagues, director and VP of engineering, and of course the hiring manager, and were much less technical and focused on their development practice and philosophy.
The people are very friendly, smart and motivated, and the overall atmosphere is relaxed. It feels like a great place to work.

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
