Senior Software Engineer Interview Experience - Needham, Massachusetts

Process

Very fast. The interview process included a phone screen with a recruiter, followed by an interview with the hiring manager, and then an on-site interview.

The recruiter worked with me prior to my on-site interview to ensure I was ready and familiar with the company values. Unlike many places I’ve worked, TripAdvisor treats its values very seriously and uses them when evaluating candidates. This is something I’ve experienced firsthand, as I’ve interviewed people for TripAdvisor.

I received an offer the day after the on-site interview. Speed wins.
