      Senior Software Engineer Interview

      19 Sept 2025
      Anonymous interview candidate
      No offer
      Negative experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied online. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at The Trade Desk in Sept 2025

      Interview

      Online Assessment, followed by a Hiring Manager interview that was System Design + Behavioral. Didn't pass that stage, was not given a reason, but I assume it was the system design portion. Next stage would have been a loop (2 coding + 1 system design).

      Interview questions [2]

      Question 1

      System Design: Video watching platform (YouTube)
      1 Answer

      Question 2

      Behavioral only had one question (what was your most challenging project?), was mostly focused on specific technologies I used at previous job.
