I applied on campus and was contacted for a Skype interview about 10 days later. The interview was scheduled with a current software engineer at TripAdvisor.

I was asked basic questions about my resume and past projects.

There was a coding question about saving and retrieving data based on location tags. The coding was done on a shared online whiteboard. I chose Java as the language in which to write my answer.

The question was not overly difficult but rather long, and therefore I spent some time answering it.

I received a generic rejection email the next day.

Saving and retrieving data based on location string.
