pretty straightforward interview process, I was reached out by the HR for initial phone call and then was asked to meet the hiring manager for the next round. The next round was technical round 45 minutes coding live
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 1 week. I interviewed at Criteo (Barcelona)
Interview
Interview with HR was very focused on my knowledge about what company does, the pay was only discussed in the end where o realized the range ends much below my expectations
Screening + two rounds, both non technical but had technical aspects where I was asked to answer both Python and SQL questions, and in one case, actually code by writing a query from a set of instructions where you would go step-by-step through the problem
Interview questions [1]
Question 1
Asked to create SQL queries with joins and sub queries
I applied online. I interviewed at Criteo in Sept 2025
Interview
Although I didn't get the role, the interview process was probably the best I've had. The process involved a few rounds with both conversational and technical interviews, including a final take-home assessment and presentation. The feedback between interviews was timely, and everyone I talked to was really friendly and kind. The recruiter was also super helpful along the way, and you could tell they really cared about you as a person through the process. After getting the rejection, I was able to talk with the recruiter about feedback and their decision, which was refreshing. The process left me with a positive view of the company and its people!
