Software Engineer New Grad Interview Experience
Process
I interviewed with TripAdvisor at the Grace Hopper Conference. They reached out to me through the resume database for the conference.
There were two back-to-back interviews, both technical, with software engineers at the company. Overall, it was a very positive experience because everyone I interviewed with was really nice and worked with me to solve the problems, even when something came up that I didn't know.
The recruiter I worked with was also wonderful and really great at getting back to me promptly and explaining next steps along the way.
