Anonymous Interview Candidate
The process took 3 weeks. I interviewed at Criteo
Not too many steps which was good but lacking in any feedback, follow up or real understanding for their decision making process. It was disappointing to be on an interview when you can tell no more than 1 minute in, that the person had no interest in getting to know me. There was a question asked, answered and on to the next question. No in-depth follow up or desire to really engage in a conversation.
- Very standard questions such as explain your background, what kind of manager are you, etc. pretty vanilla.

two coding interviews, leetcode meduim questions, flood fill and parathensis balance, with many follow up questions, until the questions become hard in leetcode standards, for instance by involving dynamic programming

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Barcelona
I applied online. The process took 3 days. I interviewed at Criteo (Barcelona) in Dec 2022
It was an interview for a Technical Solutions Intern. The interview was conducted online using Zoom. The HR interviewer asked general questions about my previous experience and education. very good discipline and behavior. I received an email after two days saying that they liked my CV and conditions but preferred to go further with the applicants who applied before me. They have many positions for paid internships, but as expected, at the minimum wage. At least in Barcelona where the salaries are low, this is normal. You might work as an intern, which you can extend for another six months, or you might apply for a job at Criteo. I don't know about other people who went through this process and if they could finally find a job there.
- What do you know about Criteo? Do you have PR and a work permit? What IT experience did you have?

Short and quick interview, and the interviewer was nice, gave quick response, and decent feedback. However, the interviewer arrived late to the call, and was rather blunt with their words.
- What do you know about the company?

Anonymous Interview Candidate in Paris
I applied online. The process took 3 months. I interviewed at Criteo (Paris) in Nov 2022
1 Interview with rectuiter 1 technical screening 3 technical interview 1 behavior Everybody were friendly an open , but the overall experience impacted by really poor feedback Honestly speaking 5 hours of interviews are slightly not aligned with the company level. The requirements are much more aligned with FAANG's salary and requirements, here guys were just looking for Network Automation Engineer. For me a bit strange to have such a high level of requirements to maintain a simple web application and DC infra with a salary level of 70-80k annually (which absolutely medium of the market) However, that's their approach. The biggest gap was that I did not get clear feedback after all the interviews like you are good, and we wanna hire you, but you are not the best in class , and you have limited skills and blablabla, and then the HR team disappeared and stopped sharing any updates.
- 1 Interviewer Call 1 hour Screening call (in fact it was the operational interview with questions related to troubleshooting of web services) 1 hour of Algorithms and data structures (simple 2-pointer algorithm) 1-hour operational Interview, again troubleshooting web services, components and a bit networking. 1 hour of system design interview (from 1 hour behavioural questions)
