I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at Criteo (Bordeaux, Aquitaine) in Dec 2022
Interview
I had a phone call with HR, followed by two coding exams. Subsequently, I had a meeting with the engineering manager and later met with a team lead. Throughout these interactions, everything went well, and I was informed by HR that they were in the process of preparing an offer for me. However, despite their initial assurance, I never received any further communication from them. I made multiple attempts to reach out to HR, but on each occasion, I was informed that they were still in the process of preparing the offer. I must acknowledge that during the exams, the staff was genuinely supportive and friendly. Despite these positive experiences, I find myself dissatisfied as I never received a clear explanation for not receiving the offer. It seems that the company's actions do not align with the value they advertise for their employees.

The coding exams themselves were relatively straightforward, drawing from LeetCode problems of medium difficulty.
