I applied through a recruiter. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tripadvisor (Ottawa, ON) in Apr 2019
Interview
Unengaged interviewer, no personal or experience questions jumped right into an algorithm computer science problem. Felt like a new grad interview from 2010. Didn't seem relevant to what the actual job would be (Java and React web development).

Question 1
All numbers are represented as linked lists. Write a function to add two "numbers".
The interview consisted of a coding interview, 2 system design interviews + coding, and a culture fit interview. Interviews was well-prepared and conducted in a friendly atmosphere. Interviewers were helpful.
Overall the process was really difficult (7 interviews overall) but they decided pretty quickly and the interviews were all comprised in 3/4 days.
Most of the interviewers were nice and tried to make your life easy when you hit a dead-end.

I applied online. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Tripadvisor in Aug 2024
Interview
After the interview, I had a biter feeling, and I was ghosted by a recruiter who did not provide the interview result to the manager. It seems they are just collecting candidates' data.

Question 1
Bunch of general questions and convert a number to a roman number.
