      Finance & Strategy Analyst Interview

      16 Nov 2017
      Anonymous employee
      New York, NY
      Accepted offer
      Positive experience
      Difficult interview

      Application

      I applied through a recruiter. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Trade Desk (New York, NY) in Oct 2017

      Interview

      The interview process was very comprehensive and well managed. The entire process took around a month. There were three initial screens before being invited onsite (two calls, one in-person interview). These screens were mostly fit based, but one of the interviews dug very deeply into my deal experience and how I thought about businesses in relation to finance (risks, opportunities for growth, ability to scale, etc.). For the onsite interview, I presented a comprehensive case study and a financial model to a group of seven people across different departments. They asked challenging, thought-provoking questions about the business and the advertising technology industry, which evolved into a collaborative discussion from all parties. They also asked finance-specific questions that tested my understanding of corporate finance. The onsite also included four additional interviews, which were mostly fit based. The Talent Acquisition team was very prompt and gave appropriate feedback. Overall, the process was one of the most professional and comprehensive that I've experienced.

      Interview questions [1]

      Question 1

      How does The Trade Desk's revenue model compare to that of its competitors (or adjacent players in the Internet industry)? What are the expected take rates and what are drivers of these rates?
