I was referred to TripAdvisor by a friend.

I was called by the technical recruiter and easily set up the first phone call.

I came in and talked to 3 engineers. About 75% of the discussion was around technical questions, including looking at code, writing code, and explaining algorithms. The last 25% were around things that I found technically interesting.

The questions were difficult but fair. I had picked up an algorithms book in the prior week to prepare myself, and that was tremendously helpful.

What do you do when your team has more work than it can handle?
