I applied online. The process took 4 weeks. I interviewed at The Trade Desk (New York, NY) in Sept 2024
Interview
The interview process was fairly standard. The recruiter asked me a bunch of questions and we chatted about my goals, salary expectations and the role.
Everything was great, but it took them 1 month to get back to me to get scheduled with the hiring manager. In between that 1 month, I followed up with them 2 weeks after our initial chat and I was ghosted.
Interview questions [2]
Question 1
Can you tell me more about your background and how it applies to this role?
Scheduled for an interview by the HR, but HR did not turn up or respond to emails. It seems like HR in APAC ghosts people a lot, based on the comments here.
I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 months. I interviewed at The Trade Desk in Oct 2022
Interview
I applied online with a referral then a recruiter contacted me for a phone call. 30 min meeting with the hiring manager, 30 min meeting with the department director, take-home test, presentation of take-home test to a panel The response time between rounds is slow. It took about 3 months to get to the final round. Take-home test takes an average of 4 hours to complete and requires a lot of adtech knowledge as well as market research
