I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Criteo (Paris) in Aug 2019
Interview
I had 2 remote interviews and one full day of interviews on site. They paid for all my travel expenses and hotel stay. The interviews went really smoothly and on time. They were mostly algorithmic problems, one design question and I meat 2 managers with openings in their teams for 30 minutes.

Question 1
What is one the hardest challenges I faced and how did I tackle and solve the problem.
I applied through a recruiter. The process took 2 weeks. I interviewed at Criteo (Ann Arbor, MI) in Oct 2018
Interview
I was contacted via LinkedIn by a recruiter. One Skype programming challenge followed by a 4 hour onsite interview. If you make it past that, you’ll have a single 45 minute phone call with an SVP.
Entire process lasted 2 weeks before I had an offer.
4 hour onsite interview consisted of 2 one hour coding challenges, 1 design/architecture challenge, and 1 non technical interview with leads/managers.
No NP complete or recursive algorithm question. Typical array/object manipulation questions. You’re expected to explain your algorithm’s time complexity.
Overall I was very impressed with entire interview process.

The recruitment team was super nice and probably the only silver lining in the entire process.
The team was extremely rude so much I did want to walk out. I took up the issue with the co-ordinator during the break but seems like it backfired.The rest of the rounds were even more hostile where I clearly got the feeling that they ganged up against me once the recruiter voiced my concern.There was a small electronic gift which was given to me which I had left in the interview room during the break. When i come back, I see the gift was smashed on the ground trampled with feet.This is the height of nonsense and most unprofessional set of folks I have ever come across in my career.
