      Software Engineer Interview

      26 Jan 2016
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 1 day. I interviewed at Tripadvisor in Dec 2015

      Interview

      Very rude and condescending interviewer. Without any introduction, he just asked me to open a browser and type the collabedit link as he read it. And then after he finished describing the coding problem. I tried to have a conversation with him about different approaches and guess what, whenever I asked him about his opinion on an approach, he just threw one sentence back at me: 'what do YOU think?' After several back and forth I realized he had no wish talking to me at all so I just started scratching and trying to solve the problem on paper. And there was about TEN SILENT minutes without anyone talking at all!! So I solved the problem and described it to him, during the whole time he didn't even make one sound. And that was it. That was my very first tech phone interview and it was a disaster.

      Easy interview

      Application

      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.

      I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Portugal)

      Interview

      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
