J'ai postulé en ligne. Le processus a pris 4 semaines. J'ai passé un entretien chez The Trade Desk en août 2024
Entretien
The interview process was good until the last interview I had. I was supposed to have 2 technical, one behavioral, and 1 system design. Unfortunately last minute they changed the system design to a technical one due to scheduling issues with the original interviewer. I ended up being interviewed by someone who was given the task last minute and threw a Leetcode hard pulled straight from Leetcode itself in there for me to solve. I really didn't appreciate that I was given a technical last minute when I had been preparing for a system design, and admittedly I did get nervous and that messed with my problem solving skills.
The interviewer was very clearly not interested in it since the beginning, and had a condescending tone to me the entire time, which made it even harder to try and solve the problem. I felt like I had done well on the first 2 technicals but the last one is what tripped me up and it's unfortunate that I did not get an offer. Other people may not have this experience, but I will say the last minute change was not the ideal situation and I wish I had been given the system design interview like originally scheduled.
60 mins - Algorithm questions. it was generally leetcode med level algorithm questions and they asked 2 questions. They were kind of rushing the interview and didn't seem like they cared about the interview.

I applied for a SDE position in Sydney AU. Online accessed + recruiter call + 4 rounds onsite rounds. The recruiter was super efficient and professional, some interviewers were very professional and friendly, however, the hiring manager had astonishingly bad manners, he gave an ambiguous and topic and didn’t collaborate or specify what aspects to focus on, as I continued to seek clarification, he became visibly frustrated and started yelling. Would recommend the company to improve the mental maturity of this hiring manager from HK before allowing him to become an interviewer again. The hiring manager's terrible manner explains why the same job has been posted again and again on Linkedin but never been filled over the last 2 months.
