I applied through a recruiter. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Criteo (París) in Sep 2015
Interview
- Un entretien par téléphone avec le recruteur
- Deux entretiens techniques par Skype
- Trois entretiens techniques sur site
- Un entretien avec le manager de l'équipe
Parmi tous ces entretiens, beaucoup de compétences « dures » sont testées (très technique) mais le volet humain n'est pas du tout évalué.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Criteo (Palo Alto, CA) in Jun 2016
Interview
Overall interview process was okay. Not too bad but still startup style which is not well organized. Interviews were fairly normal. It's not difficult. You can solve all of them if you ever checked interview books or leet code.
I got an offer after interview. It took ~1 week.
