I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at Criteo (Palo Alto, CA)
Interview
I was contacted by recruiters at Palo Alto. We decided to skip the phone interviews since i am local and kinda have a schedule. This is one the best interviewing processes I ever had. The recruiter is very friendly, flexible, and caring the candidate. I didn't feel it was an interview, more like a discussion between friends. Everyone i met was super friendly.
World-class engineering team, very interesting and promising products, nice office space and location, Great perks. Due to my personal reason (go to a diff area), i didn't move forward; but Criteo is like a hidden gem in silicon valley. Highly recommend.
This has first round of HR screening and two rounds of Technical round (more coding discussing with interviewer) and one round of system design. Later last round of offer discussion.
Processus de recrutement en quatre étapes : un entretien RH pour discuter du parcours et des motivations, un entretien technique Python d’environ 1h avec des exercices de programmation, un entretien technique web de 2h portant sur les technologies et concepts web, et enfin un entretien d’1h sur le software design pour évaluer les compétences en architecture et conception de systèmes.
