Application
I applied online. I interviewed at Criteo.
Interview -
Recruiter reached out regarding Solution Engineer position and I agreed to speak with her on the phone and we talked about salary exceptions and the role. I clearly told her about my salary exceptions before I decided to continue the interview and she said company can match this salary for this role. After this initial call, company sent me a take home assessment and after completing the take home assessment recruiter told me I passed the technical round but they have a different position to match my salary requirements. I decided to continue with the interview and I had a final round interview with the team. After completing my final round of interview, I told them about my offers from other companies and I need to make a decision soon. Recruiter came back with an offer that was 30% below my expectation and what we talked during the initial call. This process was such a waste of time and the recruiter was very unprofessional, she was not sure what she was doing and it was a frustrating process. I clearly told recruiter about my salary exceptions and other competing offers and even after knowing this she delayed the entire process and came back with an offer thats 30% below my expectations. This is completely unacceptable and I'm very glad I had other offers from better companies whose HR did a good job than Criteo's.
