I applied through a recruiter. I interviewed at The Trade Desk (London, England) in Apr 2023
Interview
Bad experience: was first informed that I had past and then was rejected after a few days. The interviewer was inexperienced: gave a very easy question which I completed quickly. He explicitly stated that pseudo code was fine, did not raise any concern and did not take my answer. However, he later criticized the quality of my answer.
Interview questions [1]
Question 1

Interview

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).
I interviewed at The Trade Desk (San Francisco, CA)
Interview
- recruiter
- hiring manager chat about exp
- coding screen

Overall pretty standard interview and good experience hence why i joined. interviews were collaborative and practical rather than obscure algorithms
